Recent advances in single crystal growth and physical property investigations of actinide intermetallic compounds are reviewed. The naturally available uranium and its compounds are well investigated and new phenomena such as unidentified electronic orderings and unconventional superconductivity are being discovered. In transuranics, despite their difficulty in handling, peculiar superconductors and new intermetallic phases have been found in recent years. We discuss technical developments as well as novel behavior of those system.
