Abstract
The synthesis, structure, and spectroscopic characterization of the first transplutonium metal-organic framework (MOF) is described. The preparation and structure of Am-GWMOF-6, [Am2 (C6 H8 O4 )3 (H2 O)2 ][(C10 H8 N2 )], is analogous to that of the isostructural trivalent lanthanide-only containing material GWMOF-6. The presented MOF architecture is used as a platform to probe Am3+ coordination chemistry and guest-enhanced luminescent emission, whereas the framework itself provides a means to monitor the effects of self-irradiation upon crystallinity over time. Presented here is a discussion of these properties and the opportunities that MOFs provide in the structural and spectroscopic study of actinides.
