There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify
selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from …

Recent reports have suggested the late actinides participate in more covalent interactions
than the earlier actinides, yet the origin of this shift in chemistry is not understood. This report …

The hydroxypyridinone ligand 3, 4, 3-LI (1, 2-HOPO) is a promising agent for biological
decorporation of radionuclides, and allows spectroscopic detection of many lanthanide (Ln) …

Lanthanide–ligand complexes are key components of technological applications, and their
properties depend on their structures in the solution phase, which are challenging to resolve …

The chemistry of trivalent transplutonium ions (Am3+, Cm3+, Bk3+, Cf3+, Es3+…) is usually
perceived as monotonic and paralleling that of the trivalent lanthanide series. Herein, we …

A multiscale force field (FF) is developed for an aqueous solution of trivalent actinide cations
An3+ (An= U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, and Cf) by using a 12-6-4 Lennard-Jones type potential …

This chapter discusses in context the separations processes of actinides that involve
primarily solvent extraction. A brief overview of separations processes utilized in the early of …

Complex, multicomponent, solutions have often been studied solely through the lens of
specific applications of interest. Yet advances to both simulation methodologies (enhanced …

A reduced set of reaction coordinates is often employed in chemistry to describe the
collective change between reactants and products within the context of rare event theories …

This chapter discusses the computational methods that can be employed to study speciation
of molecular configurations, environments, and complexes in the aqueous phase and how …
