The use of modern electronic structure methods, particularly relativistic density functional theory, has allowed our understandig of structure and bonding in actinide complexes to grow markedly over the last 25 years. The author will present some of the results from his group that have led to a greater synergy between theory and experiment within actinide science. The author will also thank Dr. Norman Edelstein for his scientific contributions as well as his leadership and vision in recognizing the importance of such work to help advance this multidisciplinary field.
