The coordination chemistry of the actinides is dominated by hard Lewis bases since the actinides are hard Lewis acids. Along with others, our group is investigating the role of soft donor ligands with the actinides in terms of their structure, bonding, and reactivity. This talk will focus on our most recent efforts with actinide-sulfur, selenium, tellurium, phosphorus, and arsenic bonds.
