A wide variety of laser-ablated metal atom reactions in solid rare gas matrices at cryogenic temperatures to form novel product molecules will be presented. These will include the ion-pair molecule Li$^{+}$O$_{2}^{-}$, the dialane molecule Al$_{2}$H$_{6}$, the thorium methylidene CH$_{2}$=ThH$_{2}$, the thorium borylene FB=ThF$_{2}$, the uranium methylidyne HC$\equiv $UF$_{3}$, the nitride N$\equiv $UF$_{3}$, and other recently prepared uranium bearing molecules.
