A Series of An^VIO₂²⁺ Complexes (An = U, Np, Pu) with N₃O₂-Donating Schiff-Base Ligands: Systematic Trends in the Molecular Structures and Redox Behavior.

ABSTRACT: In their + V and + VI oxidation states, actinide elements (U, Np, and Pu) are commonly encountered in characteristic linear dioxo structures, known as actinyl ions (AnO₂ⁿ⁺; An = U, Np, Pu, n = 1, 2). A systematic understanding of the structural and redox behavior of An^VO₂⁺/An^VIO₂²⁺ complexes is expected to provide valuable information for controlling the behavior of An elements in natural environments and in nuclear fuel cycles while enabling the development of spintronics and new reactivities that utilize the anisotropic spin of the 5f electrons. However, systematic trends in the behavior of An^VO₂⁺/An^VIO₂²⁺ compl
