Mixed-valent neptunium(IV/V) compound with cation-cation-bound six-membered neptunyl rings
1Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division, Argonne National Laboratory , Argonne, Illinois 60439, United States.
Abstract:
A new mixed-valent neptunium(IV/V) compound has been synthesized by evaporation of a neptunium(V) acidic solution. The structure of the compound features cation-cation-bound six-membered neptunyl(V) rings. These rings are further connected by Np(IV) ions through cation-cation interactions (CCIs) into a three-dimensional neptunium cationic open framework. This example illustrates the possibility of isolating neptunyl(V) CCI oligomers in inorganic systems using other cations to compete with Np(V) in bonding with the neptunyl oxygen.
