Extension of the Plutonium Oxide Nanocluster Family to Include {Pu16} and {Pu22}
Abstract
Abstract Plutonium(IV) oxide nanoclusters represent an interesting scientific problem regarding structure‐function relationships and are also relevant to global concerns surrounding plutonium reprocessing, the remediation of plutonium‐contaminated soils, and the storage or disposal of plutonium‐containing wastes. Here we report the synthesis of five unique Pu IV oxide nanoclusters containing 38, 22, or 16 metal centers and capped only with inorganic ligands, such as chlorine and water, which prevent formation of the extended PuO 2 structure. The products are interrogated through single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, bond valence calculations, and comparisons to other known metal‐oxide nanoclusters. Of particular interest is the incorporation of hydroxide linkages into the smaller plutonium oxide nanoclusters, which underscores previous observations and hypotheses regarding the formation of plutonium polymers and colloids.
