Abstract

Double monooxalates MPuO2C2O4 · nH2O with NH 4 + and Cs+ ions in the outer sphere were isolated from weakly acidic aqueous solutions of Pu(V). The unit cell parameters of these compounds were determined. The ammonium salt is isostructural to its neptunyl(V) analog; its structure is characterized by the monodentate cation-cation interaction of plutonyl(V) ions. Cesium plutonyl(V) salt isolated from a solution is not isostructural to the neptunyl(V) compound and is easily dehydrated at room temperature to form tetrahydrate, which transforms to dihydrate at 110°C. The latter compound, according to the IR spectra, can have a network system of cation-cation bonds involving PuO 2 + .
