Abstract

Abstract Single crystals of [NpO 2 L(H 2 O)]·1/3H 2 O ( I ) and [PuO 2 L(H 2 O)]·H 2 O ( II ) (H 2 L — orthophthalic acid) have been synthesized, their structures have been determined by X-ray structural analysis. Actinide atoms in both compounds are seven-coordinated. The interaction between actinide dioxocations and phthalate anions results in formation of infinite tubes in I and layers in II . The structures are compared with those of other phthalate compounds of hexa- and pentavalent actinides, in particular, with the structure of [UO 2 L(H 2 O)]·H 2 O which differs from the structure II .
