Actinide Hydrides

  • Chapter
Synthesis of Lanthanide and Actinide Compounds

Part of the book series: Topics in f-Element Chemistry ((TFEC,volume 2))

Abstract

The actinide hydrides constitute a fertile and reawakening area of solid state chemistry and find use in specific laboratory and industrial applications. A renewed interest in the properties of the hydrides has arisen because of their potential utility in probing the fundamental chemistry of the actinides and in particular addressing questions concerning involvement of the 5f electrons in binding. The effects of 5f electrons in influencing the lattice dynamics of actinide solids is evident in the structural properties of the lighter actinide hydrides. Within the short span of three elements, the actinides form three binary hydrides that are unique in the periodic table. Their structures include that of Th[H15, that of the Pa3H4-Pa3H5 solid solution and that of a-UH3. The UH3 structure also appears as an extended solid solution bounded by PaH2and PaH3. Although the structures of ThH2, ß-UH3, NpH2+5 and NpH3-8 are not unique, a total of seven markedly different structure types appear in the span of four actinides.
