One of the most intensely studied areas of f-block chemistry is the nature of the bonds between the f-element and another species, and in particular the role played by covalency. Computational quantum chemical methods have been at the forefront of this research for decades and have a particularly valuable role, given the radioactivity of the actinide series. The very strong agreement that has recently emerged between theory and the results of a range of spectroscopic techniques not only facilitates deeper insight into the experimental data, but it also provides confidence in the conclusions from the computational studies. These synergies are shining new light on the nature of the f element-other element bond.
f 区化学中研究最为深入的领域之一是 f 元素与其他物种之间键的性质，尤其是共价性所起的作用。几十年来，计算量子化学方法一直处于这项研究的前沿，鉴于锕系元素具有放射性，该方法发挥了特别重要的作用。最近理论与一系列光谱技术的结果之间出现的高度一致，不仅有助于更深入地理解实验数据，还为计算研究得出的结论提供了信心。这些协同作用为 f 元素与其他元素之间键的性质带来了新的认识。
