title: First structural evidence of actinide-nitrite coordination.
abstract: The first nitrite complex of actinide metal, {C(NH 2)3}2[NpO 2(NO 2)(Pic)2], was synthesized, and its crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffractometry and confirmed by NIR and IR spectroscopies. Main crystallographic data: space group P1, triclinic, a = 8.9329(1) A, b = 11.6669(2) A, c = 11.6698(2) A, alpha = 68.080(1) degrees, beta = 88.213(1) degrees, gamma = 73.254(1) degrees, V = 1076.45(3) A (3), and Z = 2.
