Abstract

The incorporation of neptunium(VI) into the layered uranyl selenite Cs[(UO 2)(HSeO 3)(SeO 3)] has yielded the highest level of neptunium uptake in a uranyl compound to date with an average of 12(±3)% substitution of Np VI for U VI. Furthermore, this is the first case in nearly 2 decades of dedicated incorporation studies in which the oxidation state of neptunium has been determined spectroscopically in a doped uranyl compound and also the first time in which neptunium incorporation has resulted in a structural transformation.
