The importance of actinides for science, technology, and medicine is widely recognized and does not require a lengthy introduction. However, the fundamental understanding of actinides and their chemical and physical properties lags behind the knowledge of most other elements in the periodic table. Most actinides (89 ≤ Z ≤ 103) are man-made and were produced in particle accelerators or nuclear reactors in the second half of the 20th century. Although trends in bonding and electronic structure are well characterized and documented across the periodic table, fundamental questions remain regarding the chemistry and physics of the actinides. This lack of knowledge is largely because most isotopes of actinides are intensely radioactive, which greatly increases the difficultly in handling them.
