[摘要]
锕系化学是核化学与放射化学的中心内容,人们对锕系化合物的研究长期限于其固体材料、溶液和气相化合物,较少涉及锕系元素形成的团簇。近年来,实验科学家们合成出了一系列锕系元素的团簇化合物,表明锕系团簇化合物能够稳定存在,并具有与固体和分子体系不同的物理化学性质。我们研究组在锕系化合物及其团簇化学领域开展了多年的理论化学研究,通过成键分析和计算模拟,揭示了锕系团簇的几何和电子结构特点及其稳定性规律。本文对作者研究组的相关工作及国内外锕系氧化物团簇和铀酰纳米团簇化合物研究的现状进行了简要总结。通过对该领域的研究工作进行综述,对锕系团簇化学未来研究重点和研究方向进行了展望。
Actinide-containing cluster compounds are highly important in radio- and nuclear chemistry. Until three decades ago, little attention had been paid to these heavy-element clusters because of difficulties in their syntheses and characterization as well as handling of these radioactive and chemotoxic elements. In this overview article we have selectively summarized the recent progresses in experimental and theoretical studies on actinide clusters, including actinide (An = Th, Pa, U, Np and Pu)
