K(NpO2)(3)(H2O)Cl-4: A Channel Structure Assembled by Two- and Three-Center Cation-Cation interactions of Neptunyl Cations
A Np(V) compound containing three-center cation cation interations, K(NpO2)(3)(H2O)Cl-4, has been prepared by reacting Np(V) with KCl in molten boric acid. This compound forms a three-dimensional channel structure that is constructed from both two- and three-center cation-cation interactions. Three new bonding modes for cation-cation interactions are added to the summary of all known Np(V) compounds.
