Pi Bonding in Uranyl Ion

Abstract
Overlap integrals were calculated for possible primary bonds of uranyl ion. The 6d σ and π overlaps are about the same and so great that considerable bonding of σd and πd types is indicated. The 5f σ and π overlap integrals are about the same and quite small, but strong σf bonding cannot be ruled out.
