CsPuF/sub 6/ was prepared and verified to be isostructural with corresponding compounds of uranium and neptunium. Its decomposition was studied in an inert gas atmosphere and in vacuum. Its spectrum has been measured in the region 400-2000 nm. The energy level structure of Pu/sup 5 +/ in the trigonally distorted octahedral CsPuF/sub 6/ site was computed from a predictive model and compared with the observed spectrum. 20 references, 4 figures, 3 tables.
