First Evidence of a Water-Soluble Plutonium(IV) Hexanuclear Cluster
Résumé
The singular Pu IV hexanuclear cluster [Pu 6 (OH) 4 O 4 ] 12+ stabilized by 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) ligands was structurally characterized for the first time both in the solid state and in water solution by using X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption and UV/Vis spectroscopy.
