摘要
The electronic structure of [ {(NH2)(3)(NH3)U}(2)(mu(2)-eta(2):eta(2)-N-2)], a model for the first dinitrogen compound of an actinide, is investigated computationally using quasi-relativistic nonlocal density functional theory; the only significant U-N-2-U interaction is found to be U-->N-2 pi backbonding.
