Preparation and structures of homoleptic Pu(III) and U(III) acetonitrile salts.
Nine-coordinate homoleptic acetonitrile solvate complexes of Pu(III) and U(III) ions have been prepared through oxidation of Pu metal suspended in acetonitrile with metal-hexafluorophosphate salts and dissolution of UI3(THF)4 in acetonitrile, respectively.
