Research is done on actinyl complexes, which are shown, on the basis of known theoretical and experimental results, to be weak-field complexes in 4/7 of the 5f orbital space, the other 3/7 of the space being strongly affected by bonding to the -yl oxygens. For the isolated ions, all transitions in this region are forbidden by electric-dipole selection rules, but the interactions with equatorial ligands can make such transitions allowed.
