Characterization of a strong covalent Th3+–Th3+ bond inside an Ih(7)-C80 fullerene cage

The nature of the actinide-actinide bonds is of fundamental importance to understand the electronic structure of the 5 f elements. It has attracted considerable theoretical attention, but little is known experimentally as the synthesis of these chemical bonds remains extremely challenging. Herein, w...
