Abstract
The attributes of good solubility and the redox-neutral nature of molten salt fluxes enable them to be useful for the synthesis of novel crystalline actinide compounds. In this work, a flux growth method under an inert atmosphere is proposed to explore the valence diversity of uranium, and a series of five uranium silicate structures, [K3Cl][(UVIO2)(Si4O10)] (1), Cs3[(UVO2)(Si4O10)] (2), K2[UIV(Si2O7)] (3), K8[(UVIO2)(UVO2)2(Si8O22)] (4), and Cs6[UIV(UVO)2(Si12O32)] (5), were synthesized using different metal halide salt and feeding U/Si ratios. Crystal structure analysis reveals that the utilization of argon atmosphere that helps to avoid possible oxidation of low-valence uranium generates a variety of oxidation states of uranium including U(VI), U(V), U(IV), mixed-valence U(V) and U(VI), and mixed-valence U(IV) and U(V). Characterization of physicochemical properties of representative compounds shows that all these uranium silicate compounds have bandgaps among the range of 2.0-3.4 eV, and mixed-valence uranium silicate compounds have relatively narrower bandgaps. Density functional theory calculations on formation enthalpies, lattice energies, and bandgaps of all five compounds were also performed to provide more structural information about these uranium silicates. This work enriches the library of variable-valence uranium silicate compounds and provides a feasible way to produce novel actinide compounds with intriguing properties through the flux growth method that might show potential application in relevant fields such as storage media for nuclear waste.

Abstract
The uranium-containing 2H-perovskite-related chalcogenide family of compounds was revisited using the recently developed boron-chalcogen mixture (BCM) method for actinides to aid in their syntheses and to obtain magnetic measurements. Two known 2H-perovskite-related structures, Ba3MnUS6 and Ba3FeUS6, were synthesized using the BCM method and were found to exhibit antiferromagnetic transitions at TN = ∼7.6 and 10.8 K, respectively. Combining the BCM method with the molten flux crystal growth technique resulted in single crystals of three new compositions, Ba3NiUS6, Ba3CoUS6, and Ba3Co0.858(5)Mg0.142(5)US6, the synthesis and characterization of which is reported. Magnetic measurements of Ba3NiUS6 revealed a complex magnetic susceptibility consisting of a weak, glassy, antiferromagnetic transition near 65 K followed by an antiferromagnetic transition at TN = ∼18 K. A reduced radius ratio plot for the existing chalcogenide compositions and new additions to this structure type reported herein is presented to aid in the search for additional 2H-perovskite-related sulfides.

Abstract
Mild hydrothermal synthesis was employed to grow high-quality single crystals of ternary fluoridohafnates at low temperatures. The series of new materials was characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the crystal structures of AHfF6 (A = Mg and Sr), A2HfF8 (A = Ba and Pb), Ca5Hf3F22, and Cd2HfF8(H2O)6 are discussed herein. Although some material compositions have similar stoichiometries, all of the compositions adopt different structural motifs. A comparison of the crystal structures and synthesis techniques of ternary fluoridohafnates and ternary fluoridozirconates is also reported, and the impact of the subtle changes of synthesis conditions on overall structures is discussed.

Abstract
A series of quaternary Np(IV) fluorides was synthesized using a mild hydrothermal synthesis approach. The compositions are all of the type NaxMNp6F30, where M = Ti(III), V(III), Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Al(III), and Ga(III) and x = 4 for divalent metals, x = 3 for trivalent metals. The compounds all crystallize in the P-3c1 space group and are isotypic with actinide analogues NaxMAn6F30 (An = Ce, U, Th, Pu). Structure data from the neptunium crystals were combined with data from the other actinide analogues to establish the tetravalent, nine-coordinated ionic radii of neptunium (1.030(2) Å), plutonium (1.014(1) Å), and cerium (1.012(2) Å). Radiation damage studies were also carried out on a surrogate material, the cerium analogue Na3AlCe6F30, which indicates that the structure type has low resistance to amorphization. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to compute the band gaps and enthalpies of formation variations among the isotypic cerium and actinide structures to compare the stability of the structures.

Abstract
A series of A2M4U6S17 (A = alkali metal; M = Pd, Pt) compounds, specifically K2Pd4U6S17, K2Pt4U6S17, Rb2Pt4U6S17, and Cs2Pt4U6S17, were synthesized using the combined boron-chalcogen mixture and molten flux crystal growth methods. The formation of rubidium- and cesium-containing analogues resulted from a in situ alkali polysulfide flux formed from alkali carbonates. The successful synthesis of single crystals of the title compounds allowed for their structural characterization by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure determination revealed disorder of the alkali cations in Rb2Pt4U6S17 and Cs2Pt4U6S17, while the potassium cations in K2Pd4U6S17 and K2Pt4U6S17 were fully ordered. Magnetic measurements were performed on samples of K2Pt4U6S17, Rb2Pt4U6S17, and Cs2Pt4U6S17 that contained small amounts of paramagnetic β-US2 and diamagnetic PtS. Antiferromagnetic order was observed at TN = 9.1 K for K2Pt4U6S17. No long-range magnetic order was observed for Rb2Pt4U6S17 and Cs2Pt4U6S17. Uranium moments of 2.5, 2.6, and 2.6 μB were measured for K2Pt4U6S17, Rb2Pt4U6S17, and Cs2Pt4U6S17, respectively.

Abstract
Geometrically frustrated systems play an important role in studying new physical phenomena and unconventional thermodynamics. Charge ordered defect pyrochlores AM2+M3+F6 offer a convenient platform for probing the interplay between electron distribution over M2+ and M3+ sites and structural distortions; however, they are limited to compounds with M2+/3+ = V, Fe, Ni, and Cu due to difficulties in the simultaneous stabilization of other 3d elements in the +2 and +3 oxidation states. Herein, we employ Cl- anions under hydrothermal conditions for the mild reduction of Mn2O3 in concentrated HF to obtain the CsMn2+Mn3+F6 composition as a phase pure sample and study its properties. The magnetism of CsMn2F6 was characterized by measuring the magnetic susceptibility and isothermal magnetization data, and a magnetic transition to a canted antiferromagnet state was found at 24.1 K. We determined the magnetic structure of CsMn2F6 using powder neutron diffraction, which revealed successive long-range ordering of the Mn2+ and Mn3+ sites that is accompanied by a second transition. The role and strength of magnetic exchange interactions were characterized using DFT calculations.

Abstract
Nan MAn6 F30 is an extremely versatile framework structure for incorporating tetravalent actinides (An) and cerium along with divalent or trivalent d-metals (M); moreover, the structure exhibits a high resistance to harsh chemical conditions. This extreme robustness can potentially be exploited for the sequestration of plutonium in a stable matrix; however, no Nan MPu6 F30 compounds have been reported so far. Herein, we present four new plutonium fluorides that have been prepared as single crystals by mild hydrothermal synthesis methods. Structural characterizations revealed their compositions to be Na3 AlPu6 F30 , Na3 FePu6 F30 , Na3 CoPu6 F30 , and Na2.4 Mn1.6 Pu6 F30 . Surprisingly, in the plutonium series, it was found that Co2+ and Mn2+ precursors oxidized to form Na3 CoIII Pu6 F30 and Na2.4 MnII/III 1.6 Pu6 F30 , whereas the analogous reactions for cerium result in reduction of the transition metal, even when beginning with a M3+ precursor. While cerium is often used as a surrogate for plutonium, this work serves as an example that deviations between their chemistries do occur.

Abstract
A uranium oxide hydrate framework, [U(H2O)2]{[(UO2)10O10(OH)2][(UO4)(H2O)2]} (UOF1), was synthesized hydrothermally using schoepite as a uranium precursor. The crystal strucutre of UOF1 was revealed with synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction and confirmed with transmission electron miscroscopy. The typical uranyl oxide hydroxide layers similar to those in β-U3O8 are further connected via double-pentagonal-bipyramidal uranium polyhedra to form a three-dimensional (3D) framework structure with tetravalent uranium species inside the channels. The presence of mixed-valence uranium was investigated with a combination of X-ray absorption near-edge structure and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Apart from the major hexavalent uranium, evidence for tetravalent uranium was also found, consistent with the bond valence sum calculations. The successful preparation of UOF1 as the first pure uranium oxide hydrate framework sheds light on the structural understanding of the alteration of UO2+x as either a mineral or spent nuclear fuel.

Abstract
The structural chemistry of elements relevant to the FLiBe molten salt reactor, Th, U, Np, and Zr, including Ce and Nd (as analogues for Pu and Am, respectively), have been examined using hydrothermal synthesis at 200 °C. These reactions serve to model the reaction of molten salts under hydrolysis conditions. The results show that U and Np formed LiAnF5, while Ce formed Li4CeF8. The source of U also controlled the crystal quality, where UO2 gave small crystals, while UO3·2H2O gave very large crystals. It is likely that Be incorporation was not observed because of the high solubility of [BeF4]2- in water. Zr formed a third product, Li6BeF4ZrF8, which features isolated [BeF4]2- and [ZrF8]4- units bridged by Li+. Additionally, Li2BeF4 was regularly isolated. When little to no alkali metal was included in the reaction, M3F12(H2O) was isolated for Np, U, and Ce.

Abstract
The reaction of 242PuO2 with HF and LiF under hydrothermal conditions results in the formation of Li4PuF8 and LiPuF5. These compounds were structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and UV-vis-near-IR absorption spectroscopy was employed to confirm the oxidation state of the plutonium in the compounds as 4+. The structure of Li4PuF8 consists of [PuF8]4- anions that adopt a bicapped trigonal-prismatic geometry with approximate C2v symmetry. These molecules are bridged by Li+ cations. In contrast, LiPuF5 forms a dense three-dimensional network constructed from [PuF9]5- units that are bridged by F- anions. The Pu4+ cations are found within tricapped trigonal prisms. Extensive theoretical analysis of the electronic and bonding interactions is included with a comparison between the results derived from complete-active-space self-consistent-field at different levels of theory, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, interacting quantum atom, natural localized molecular orbital, and Wiberg bond order analyses. Covalent interactions in these compounds are examined, and intramolecular trends in covalent and electrostatic interactions are discussed.

Abstract
The hydrothermal crystal growth of a new uranium phosphite, U(HPO3)2, is reported. This material was found to exhibit optical and magnetic properties not commonly observed in U(IV) containing materials, specifically purple coloration and low temperature magnetism. We discuss the synthesis, structure determination, and characterization of the title compound and comment on its optical, thermal, and magnetic properties. The magnetic behavior is consistent with frustrated antiferromagnetism that arises from the hexagonal honeycomb lattice of U(IV) ions. This material gives rare evidence for U(IV) ions participating in magnetic order.

Abstract
A new uranium fluoride phosphate, UFPO4, was synthesized via a mild hydrothermal route and characterized optically, thermally, and magnetically. Two thermal transformation products, U2O(PO4)2 and UIVUVIO2(PO4)2, were discovered to be structurally related, and were subsequently synthesized for bulk property measurements. All three materials failed to follow Curie-Weiss behavior at low temperatures, attributed to the nearly ubiquitous singlet ground state of U(IV), transitioning into a Curie-Weiss paramagnetic regime at high temperatures. Neutron diffraction experiments were performed on UFPO4 and UIVUVIO2(PO4)2 in order to characterize this unusual magnetic behavior.

Abstract
The first heterobimetallic uranium(IV)/vanadium(III) phosphite compound, Na2UV2(HPO3)6 (denoted as UVP), was synthesized via an in situ redox-active hydrothermal reaction. It exhibits superior hydrolytic and antioxidant stability compared to the majority of structures containing low-valent uranium or vanadium, further elucidated by first-principles simulations, and therefore shows potential applications in nuclear waste management.

Abstract
Four new uranyl arsenates, Cs2[(UO2)(As2O7)] (1), α-Cs[(UO2)(HAs2O7)] (2), β-Cs[(UO2)(HAs2O7)] (3), Cs[(UO2)(HAs2O7)]·0.17H2O (4), were synthesized by high-temperature/high pressure (HT/HP) reactions at 900 °C and 3 GPa. These phases were subsequently characterised structurally as well as chemically. We demonstrated that compound 1 can also be obtained at ambient pressure. Compounds 1, 2, and 4 are based on two-dimensional (2D) anionic layers with two different topological types. The layers possess a similar composition, [(UO2)(As2O7)](2-) in 1 and [(UO2)(HAs2O7)](-) in 2 and 4. However, the presence of hydrogen in 2 and 4 leads to a change in coordination modes of the pyroarsenate groups. There are additional 0.17 H2O molecules per formula unit in 4, which cause slight distortions of the layers in 4. All these layers can be simplified to a common net, which is typical of autunite-like layered compounds. Compound 3 is a polymorph of compound 2, but the structural arrangements in these two are significantly different. The structure of 3 is based upon a three-dimensional (3D) framework, in which UO7 is coordinated by arsenate groups in order to form uranyl anion sheets, and UO6 is located within the interlayers. Bond valance analysis proved the presence of OH(-) groups in compounds 2, 3, and 4, respectively, and water molecules in 4. The Raman analyses enabled the study of the local environments of the arsenate and the uranyl groups within the investigated phases, respectively. It turned out that the applied HT/HP synthesis method strongly affects the crystal chemistry as well as the observed structural features of all obtained compounds.
