Cation-cation interactions between neptunyl(VI) units.
The boric acid flux reaction of NpO(2)(ClO(4))(2) with NaClO(4) affords Na[(NpO(2))(4)B(15)O(24)(OH)(5)(H(2)O)](ClO(4))·0.75H(2)O (NaNpBO-1). NaNpBO-1 possesses a layered structure consisting of double neptunyl(VI) borate sheets bridged by another Np(VI) site through cation-cation interactions. The sole presence of Np(VI) in NaNpBO-1 is supported by absorption and vibrational spectroscopy.
