Binding within the first coordination sphere of the dioxoactinide ion is observed for the crown ether ligand in the complex ion [NpO2([18]crown-6)]+ 1, which is readily formed on adding [18]crown-6 to an aqueous solution of NpO2+ or NpO22+ in dilute HClO4 or CF3SO3H. The structure of the complex was confirmed by the X-ray structure analysis and spectroscopic data of 1[ClO4].
