Abstract

A Np(V) compound containing three-center cation-cation interations, K(NpO(2))(3)(H(2)O)Cl(4), has been prepared by reacting Np(V) with KCl in molten boric acid. This compound forms a three-dimensional channel structure that is constructed from both two- and three-center cation-cation interactions. Three new bonding modes for cation-cation interactions are added to the summary of all known Np(V) compounds.
