The hydrolysis and carbonate complexation reactions of dioxoplutonium (V) were studied in near neutral aqueous systems. These experiments involved the addition of hydroxide or carbonate to Pu(V) in a perchorate medium. Change in the electronic adsorption spectra provided information about the chemical properties of Pu(V). The results indicate the Pu(V) does not hydrolyze below pH 7.15. In the carbonate complexation studies, log {beta}{sub 11} was measured to be 4.4 +- 0.7. 5 figs., 3 tabs.
