Abstract

Evidence for a transient, highly reactive ThNTh nitride is presented, in contrast to uranium analogues that are stable and isolable. Surprisingly, computational studies reveal a σ > π energy ordering for all these bridging nitride bonds, a phenomenon for actinides only observed before in terminal uranium nitrides and uranyl.
