A tetrameric neptunyl(v) cluster supported by a Schiff base ligand.
The first tetrameric cation-cation neptunyl(v) cluster, [{NpO(2)(salen)}(4)(μ(8)-K)(2)][K(18C6)Py](2), has been synthesized in non-aqueous solution from the reaction of [(NpO(2)Py(5))(KI(2)Py(2))](n) with K(2)salen and its structure determined in the solid state and in solution where the complex retains its tetrameric form.
