Identification of the Formal +2 Oxidation State of Neptunium: Synthesis and Structural Characterization of {Np[CH(SiMe)]}.

We report a new formal oxidation state for neptunium in a crystallographically characterizable molecular complex, namely Np in [K(crypt)][NpCp″] [crypt = 2.2.2-cryptand, Cp″ = CH(SiMe)]. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the ground state electronic configuration of the Np2+ ion in...
