Materials Data on PuN2O11 by Materials Project

Abstract

(PuO4)2(NO3)4O2 is Cyanogen Chloride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four nitric acid molecules, two water molecules, and two PuO4 clusters. In one of the PuO4 clusters, Pu is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O atoms. There is two shorter (1.80 Å) and two longer (1.81 Å) Pu–O bond length. O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pu atom. In one of the PuO4 clusters, Pu is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O atoms. There is two shorter (1.80 Å) and two longer (1.81 Å) Pu–O bond length. O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pu atom.
