Abstract

5f covalency in [U(C7H7)2]was probed with carbon K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and electronic structure theory. The results revealed U 5f orbital participation in δ-bonding in both the ground- and core-excited states; additional 5f ϕ-mixing is observed in the core-excited states.
