Abstract

Cumulated triple bonds: A new class of molecules, the isoelectronic series of NUIr, (depicted) has been postulated and theoretically studied. The bond between the actinide and the 5d-metal atom is very short and is shown to correspond to triple bonding. The N-U bond is also a triple bond.
