Abstract
Electron counting and oxidation states are fundamental concepts used for understanding a molecule’s electronic structure. A recent study of PuO2 provides insights into how covalency can impact our assessment of the electronic structures of f-element materials.
期刊介绍:
Nature Reviews Chemistry is an online-only journal that publishes Reviews, Perspectives, and Comments on various disciplines within chemistry. The Reviews aim to offer balanced and objective analyses of selected topics, providing clear descriptions of relevant scientific literature. The content is designed to be accessible to recent graduates in any chemistry-related discipline while also offering insights for principal investigators and industry-based research scientists. Additionally, Reviews should provide the authors' perspectives on future directions and opinions regarding the major challenges faced by researchers in the field.
