Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Molecular Plutonium(IV) Compound Constructed from Dimeric Building Blocks

Abstract

Single crystals of Na8Pu2(O2)2(CO3)6•12H2O, exhibiting mu2, eta2-O2 ligands in unprecedented Pu(IV) dimeric units, were obtained at ambient temperature from aqueous Plutonium(IV) peroxide carbonate solution.
