Title: Probing the protonation and reduction of heptavalent neptunium with computational guidance

Journal Article · · Dalton Transactions
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D4DT01706D · OSTI ID:2459391

Computational and experimental results detail the speciation and stability of Np( vii ) under varied pH conditions. Sequential protonation reactions and their thermodynamic feasibility for the Np( vii )O 4 (OH) 2 3+  to Np( vi )O 2 2+ transition are discussed.
