Actinide tetracyanoplatinates: synthesis and structural characterization with uncharacteristic Th–NC coordination and thorium fluorescence

Abstract

Here, we report the synthesis of three novel actinide tetracyanoplatinates (AnTCP, where An = Th, UO(2) unit and TCP = [Pt(CN)(4)](2-)) along with their unique fluorescence properties and structural characterization by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
