Research summary

Suzanne C. Bart's research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of compounds containing uranium, thorium, and other actinide elements (heavy radioactive metals found at the bottom of the periodic table), studying their chemical bonding and reactivity. Much of this work involves growing and analyzing crystal structures to understand how these metals interact with surrounding atoms, including studies of unusual bonding arrangements like imido and anilido groups. The group also explores related inorganic materials chemistry, such as chalcogenide-based compounds relevant to solar energy materials.

Publication output was relatively high and steady from 2017 to 2023 (roughly 24-49 papers/year) but has dropped substantially in the last two to three years, though 2026 shows a partial rebound.
