Tamain, C.; Dumas, T.; Guillaumont, D.; Hennig, C.; Guilbaud, P.
A singular Pu(IV) hexanuclear cluster [Pu6(OH)4O4]12+ stabilized by DOTA ligands has been structurally characterized for the first time both in the solid state and in water solution using X-ray diffraction, Vis-NIR and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. The cluster solubility in water and its high stability in a relatively large pH range are of the upmost importance for plutonium environmental speciation.
