<p>Uranium imido compounds have been traditionally studied due to their analogous nature to uranyl compounds. The investigation of uranium imido bonds can open the door to the activation of uranium oxygen bonds, which is important for the recyclization of spent nuclear fuel. This research encompasses further characterization of imido compounds utilizing electrochemical techniques which will better the understanding of these compounds. Utilizing what we already know about uranium imido compounds, further reactivity studies were conducted. Additionally, uranium is a suitable candidate for modeling synthesis of transuranic elements, specifically neptunium. Therefore, additional pathways to synthesize uranium tris(imido) and uranium tertrakis(imido) complexes were explored as a modeling system. </p>
