Dicaesium tetrachloridodioxidoplutonate(VI)

M. P. Wilkerson and B. L. Scott

Abstract: The anion of the title complex, Cs₂[PuCl₄O₂], adopts a pseudo-octahedral geometry (2/m crystallographic site symmetry) with two plutonyl oxide ligands in axial sites and four chloride ligands occupying the equatorial plane. Charge balance is maintained by two caesium cations per tetrachloridodioxidoplutonate(VI) anion. Principal bond lengths include Pu-O = 1.752 (3) Å and Pu-Cl = 2.6648 (8) Å.
