Abstract

AbstractThe electrochemical hydrolysis of thorium(IV) was monitored by a combination of high‐energy X‐ray scattering (HEXS) and NMR spectroscopy. Once formed, μ2‐dihydroxo‐bridged dimers remain stable in solutions of moderate pH until glycine is added, upon which the dimers rapidly condense to form hexanuclear clusters [Th6(μ3‐O)4(μ3‐OH)4]12+. In the absence of the dimers or glycine, the clusters do not form even if the solutions are stored over extended times.
