Multinuclear uranium-nitrogen cluster formation from exploration of organouranium-ammonolysis
Uranium-nitrogen compounds (U<sub>x</sub>N<sub>y</sub>) pose interesting structural and electronic questions. Understanding the formation and speciation of U<sub>x</sub>N<sub>y</sub> may provide insights in nitrogen fixation as well as the preparation of potential uranium nitride nuclear fuels, a promising Gen IV nuclear reactor fuel. Small molecular clusters offer the opportunity to study U<sub>x</sub>N<sub>y</sub> using solution and dynamic spectroscopies. Herein, we have explored a new method
