A crystalline tri-thorium cluster with σ-aromatic metal-metal bonding

Josef T. Boronski et al.

Summary: Actinide-actinide bonding is typically predicted to be weak and difficult to observe under normal conditions, but the experimental discovery of thorium-thorium bonding in a crystalline cluster has revealed a new type of sigma-aromatic bond that challenges previous theoretical predictions. This discovery extends delocalized sigma-aromatic bonding to the heaviest elements in the periodic table and offers a new approach to studying actinide-actinide bonding.
