Abstract
A new hexanuclear plutonium cluster has been stabilized in aqueous media with acetate ligands. To probe the formation of such a complex structure, visible-near infrared (vis-NIR) absorption spectroscopy, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) were combined. The presence of Pu6O4(OH)4(CH3COO)12 species in solution was first detected by vis-NIR and EXAFS spectroscopy. To confirm unambiguously this structure, EXAFS spectra were simulated from ab initio calculations. Debye-Waller factors and structural parameters were derived from DFT calculations. A large number of 5f electrons were treated as valence or core electrons using small- and large-core relativistic effective pseudopotentials. It is possible to reproduce accurately the EXAFS spectrum of the octahedral hexamer cluster at both levels of calculations. Further DFT and EXAFS calculations were performed on clusters of lower or higher nuclearities and of different geometries using the 5f-core approximation. The result shows that trimer, tetramer, flat hexamer, and even 16-mer clusters exhibit different EXAFS patterns and confirm the very specific octahedral hexanuclear EXAFS signature.

Abstract
Actinide metal oxo clusters are of vital importance in actinide chemistry, as well as in environmental and materials sciences. They are ubiquitous in both aqueous and nonaqueous phases and play key roles in nuclear materials (e.g., nuclear fuel) and nuclear waste management. Despite their importance, our structural understanding of the actinide metal oxo clusters, particularly the transuranic ones, is very limited because of experimental challenges such as high radioactivity. Herein we report a systematic theoretical study on the structures and stabilities of seven actinide metal oxo-hydroxo clusters [AnIV6O4(OH)4L12] (1-An; An = Th-Cm; L = O2CH-) along with their group 4 (Ti, Zr, Hf, Rf) and lanthanide (Ce) counterparts [MIV6O4(OH)4L12] (1-M). The work shows the Td-symmetric structures of all of the 1-An/M clusters and suggests the positions of the -OH functional groups, which are experimentally challenging to determine. Furthermore, by removing six electrons from 1-An, we found that oxidation could happen on the AnIV metal ions, producing [AnV6O4(OH)4L12]6+ (2-An; An = Pa, U, Np), or on the O2- and OH- ligands, producing [AnIV6(O•-)4(OH•)2(OH)2L12]6+ (3-An; An = Pu, Am, Cm). On the basis of 2-An, we constructed a series of tetravalent and pentavalent actinide metal oxo clusters [AnIV6O14]4- (4-An) and [AnV6O14]2+ (5-An), which proves the feasibility of the highly important pentavalent actinyl clusters, demonstrates the f orbital's structure-directing role in the formation of linear [O≡AnV═O]+ actinyl ions, and expands the concept of actinyl-actinyl interaction into pentavalent transuranic actinyl clusters.

Abstract
We report the structural properties of ultra-small ThO2 and UO2 nanoparticles (NPs), which were synthesized without strong binding surface ligands by employing a covalent organic framework (COF-5) as an inert template. The resultant NPs were used to observe how structural properties are affected by decreasing grain size within bulk actinide oxides, which has implications for understanding the behavior of nuclear fuel materials. Through a comprehensive characterization strategy, we gain insight regarding how structure at the NP surface differs from the interior. Characterization using electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering indicates that growth of the ThO2 and UO2 NPs was confined by the pores of the COF template, resulting in sub-3 nm particles. X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy results indicate that the NPs are best described as ThO2 and UO2 materials with unpassivated surfaces. The surface layers of these particles compensate for high surface energy by exhibiting a broader distribution of Th-O and U-O bond distances despite retaining average bond lengths that are characteristic of bulk ThO2 and UO2. The combined synthesis and physical characterization efforts provide a detailed picture of actinide oxide structure at the nanoscale, which remains highly underexplored compared to transition metal counterparts.

Abstract
Theoretical investigation of the H(CHB11 X11 ) (X=H, F, Cl, CN), H(CHB11 Xn Y11-n ) (X,Y=F, Cl; n=1,5), and dimeric (H(CHB11 X11 ))2 (X=F, Cl) carborane superacids performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) theory level revealed the similarity of their equilibrium structures and the possibility of nearly barrierless hydrogen atom migration among the substituents attached to one side of the icosahedral CB11 cage. The vertical electron detachment energies predicted at the OVGF/6-311++G(3df,2pd) theory level for the conjugate bases (CHB11 X11 )- were found to span the 5.82-9.00 ev range. The acid strengths (manifested by the Gibbs free deprotonation energies spanning the 213-266 kcal/mol range) predicted for the icosahedral H(CHB11 X11 ) carborane systems confirm their superacidic properties which might be increased even further by the attachment of the second carborane H(CHB11 X11 ) unit that leads to a dimeric structure mimicking a part of an experimentally observed H-bridged polymeric chain. The Gibbs free deprotonation energy of the dimeric (H(CHB11 Cl11 ))2 acid was predicted to be smaller by 17 kcal/mol than that of the corresponding monomeric H(CHB11 Cl11 ) acid.

Abstract
Thorium(iv) complexes are currently attracting intense attention from inorganic chemists due to the development of liquid-fluoride thorium reactors and the fact that thorium(iv) is often used as a model system for the study of the more radioactive Np(iv) and Pu(iv). Schiff-base complexes of tetravalent actinides are useful for the development of new separation strategies in nuclear fuel processing and nuclear waste management. Thorium(iv)-Schiff base complexes find applications in the colorimetric detection of this toxic metal ion and the construction of fluorescent on/off sensors for Th(iv) exploiting the ligand-based light emission of its complexes. Clusters of Th(iv) with hydroxide, oxide or peroxide bridges are also relevant to the environmental and geological chemistry of this metal ion. The reactions between Th(NO3)4·5H2O and N-salicylidene-o-aminophenol (LH2) and N-salicylidene-o-amino-4-methylphenol (L'H2) in MeCN have provided access to complexes [Th4O(NO3)2(LH)2(L)5] (1) and [Th4O(NO3)2(L'H)2(L')5] (2) in moderate yields. The structures of 1·4MeCN and 2·2.4 MeCN have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The complexes have similar molecular structures possessing the {Th4(μ4-O)(μ-OR')8} core that contains the extremely rare {Th4(μ4-O)} unit. The four ThIV atoms are arranged at the vertexes of a distorted tetrahedron with a central μ4-O2- ion bonded to each metal ion. The H atom of one of the acidic -OH groups of each 3.21 LH- or L'H- ligand is located on the imine nitrogen atom, thus blocking its coordination. The ThIV centres are also held together by one 3.221 L2- or (L')2- group and four 2.211 L2- or (L')2- ligands. The metal ions adopt three different coordination numbers (8, 9, and 10) with a total of four coordination geometries (triangular dodecahedral, muffin, biaugmented trigonal prismatic, and sphenocorona). A variety of H-bonding interactions create 1D chains and 2D layers in the crystal structures of 1·4 MeCN and 2·2.4 MeCN, respectively. The structures of the complexes are compared with those of the uranyl complexes with the same or similar ligands. Solid-state and IR data are discussed in terms of the coordination mode of the organic ligands and the nitrato groups. 1H NMR data suggest that solid-state structures are not retained in DMSO. The solid complexes emit green light at room temperature upon excitation at 400 nm, the emission being ligand-centered.

Abstract
A new strategy for the synthesis of large poly-oxo clusters bearing 38 tetravalent uranium atoms {U38} has been developed by controlling the water release from the esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The molecular entity [U38O56Cl40(H2O)2(ipa)20]·(ipa) x (ipa = isopropanol) was crystallized from the solvothermal reaction of a mixture of UCl4 and benzoic acid in isopropanol at temperature ranging from 70 to 130 °C. Its crystal structure reveals the molecular assembly of the UO2 fluorite-like inner core {U14} with oxo groups bridging the uranium centers. The {U14} core is further surrounded by six tetrameric sub-units of {U4} to form the {U38} cluster. Its surface is decorated by either bridging- and terminal chloride anions or terminal isopropanol molecules. Another synthesis using the same reactant mixture at room temperature resulted in the crystallization of a discrete dinuclear complex [U2Cl4(bz)4(ipa)4]·(ipa)0.5 (bz = benzoate), in which each uranium center is coordinated by two chlorine atoms, four oxygen atoms from carboxylate groups and two additional oxygen atoms from isopropanol. The slow production of water released from the esterification of isopropanol allows the formation of the giant cluster with oxo bridges linking the uranium atoms at a temperature above 70 °C, whereas no such oxo groups are present in the dinuclear complex formed at room temperature. The kinetics of {U38} crystallization as well as the ester formation are analyzed and discussed. SAXS experiments indicate that the {U38} species are not dominant in the supernatant, but hexanuclear entities which are closely related to the [U6O8] type are formed.

Abstract
Three tetravalent actinide (AnIV ) hexanuclear clusters with the octahedral core [An6 (OH)4 O4 ]12+ (AnIV =UIV , NpIV , PuIV ) were structurally characterized in the solid state and in aqueous solution by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption, IR, Raman, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. The observed structure, [An6 (OH)4 O4 (H2 O)8 (HDOTA)4 ]⋅HCl/HNO3 ⋅n H2 O (An=U(I), Np(II), Pu(III)), consists of a AnIV hexanuclear pseudo-octahedral cluster stabilized by DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) ligands. The six actinide atoms are connected through alternate μ3 -O2- and μ3 -OH- groups. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) investigations combined with UV/Vis spectroscopy provide evidence for the same local structure in moderate acidic and neutral aqueous solutions. The synthesis mechanism was partially elucidated and the main physicochemical properties (pH range stability, solubility, and protonation constant) of the cluster were determined. The results underline the importance of: 1) considering such polynuclear species in thermodynamic models, and 2) competing reactions between hydrolysis and complexation. It is interesting to note that the same synthesis route with thorium(IV) led to the formation of a dimer, Th2 (H2 O)10 (H2 DOTA)2 ⋅4 NO3 ⋅x H2 O (IV), which contrasts to the structure of the other AnIV hexamers.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of Th(iv) was studied in tetraethylammonium perchlorate (0.10 mol kg(-1)) at variable temperatures (283-358 K) by potentiometry and microcalorimetry. Three hydrolysis reactions, mTh(4+) + nH2O = Thm(OH)n((4m-n)+) + nH(+), in which (n,m) = (2,2), (8,4), and (15,6), were invoked to describe the potentiometric and calorimetric data for solutions with the [hydroxide]/[Th(iv)] ratio ≤ 2. At higher ratios, the formation of (16,5) cannot be excluded. The hydrolysis constants, *β2,2, *β8,4, and *β15,6, increased by 3, 7, and 11 orders of magnitude, respectively, as the temperature was increased from 283 to 358 K. The enhancement is mainly due to the significant increase of the degree of ionization of water as the temperature rises. All three hydrolysis reactions are endothermic at 298 K, with enthalpies of (118 ± 4) kJ mol(-1), (236 ± 7) kJ mol(-1), and (554 ± 4) kJ mol(-1) for ΔH2,2, ΔH8,4, and ΔH15,6 respectively. The hydrolysis constants at infinite dilution have been obtained with the specific ion interaction approach. The applicability of three approaches for estimating the equilibrium constants at different temperatures, including the constant enthalpy approach, the constant heat capacity approach and the DQUANT equation was evaluated with the data from this work.

Abstract
At the near-neutral and reducing aquatic conditions expected in undisturbed ore deposits or in closed nuclear waste repositories, the actinides Th, U, Np, and Pu are primarily tetravalent. These tetravalent actinides (AnIV) are sparingly soluble in aquatic systems and, hence, are often assumed to be immobile. However, AnIV could become mobile if they occur as colloids. This review focuses on a new type of AnIV colloids, oxyhydroxy silicate colloids. We herein discuss the chemical characteristics of these colloids and the potential implication for their environmental behavior. The binary oxyhydroxy silicate colloids of AnIV could be potentially more mobile as a waterborne species than the well-known mono-component oxyhydroxide colloids.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is the go-to technique for determining the solution structures of organic, organometallic, and even macromolecular species. However, structure determination of nanoscale aqueous inorganic clusters by NMR spectroscopy remains an unexplored territory. The few hydroxo-bridged inorganic species well characterized by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) do not provide enough information for signal assignment and prediction of new samples. 1H-NMR and quantum mechanical (QM) computations were used to characterize the NMR spectra of the entire array of inorganic flat-Ga13-x In x (0 ≤ x ≤ 6) nanoscale clusters in solution. A brief review of the known signals for μ2-OH and μ3-OH bridges gives expected ranges for certain types of protons, but does not give enough information for exact peak assignment. Integration values and NOESY data were used to assign the peaks of several cluster species with simple 1H-NMR spectra. Computations agree with these hydroxide signal assignments and allow for assignment of the complex spectra arising from the remaining cluster species. This work shows that 1H-NMR spectroscopy provides a variety of information about the solution behavior of inorganic species previously thought to be inaccessible by NMR due to fast ligand and/or proton exchange in wet solvents.

Abstract
While extensive success has been gained in the structural chemistry of the U-Se system, the synthesis and characterization of Th-based Se structures are widely unexplored. Here, four new Th-Se compounds, α-Th(SeO3)2, β-Th(SeO3)2, Th(Se2O5)2, and Th3O2(OH)2(SeO4)3, have been obtained from mild hydrothermal or low-temperature (180-220 °C) flux conditions and were subsequently structurally and spectroscopically characterized. The crystal structures of α-Th(SeO3)2 and β-Th(SeO3)2 are based on ThO8 and SeO3 polyhedra, respectively, featuring a three-dimensional (3D) network with selenite anions filling in the Th channels along the a axis. Th(Se2O5)2 is a 3D framework composed of isolated ThO8 polyhedra interconnected by [Se2O5](2-) dimers. Th3O2(OH)2(SeO4)3 is also a 3D framework constructed by octahedral hexathorium clusters [Th6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4](12+), which are interlinked by selenate groups SeO4(2-). The positions of the vibrational modes associated with both Se(IV)O3(2-) and Se(VI)O4(2-) units, respectively, were determined for four compounds, and the Raman spectra of α- and β-Th(SeO3)2 are compared and discussed in detail.

Abstract
The lack of an in-depth understanding of solution-phase speciation and its relationship to solid-state phase formation is a grand challenge in synthesis science. It has severely limited the ability of inorganic chemists to predict or rationalize the formation of compounds from solutions. The need to investigate mechanisms that underlie self-assembly has motivated this study of aqueous Zr-sulfate chemistry as a model system, with the goal of understanding the structures of oligomeric clusters present in solution. We used high-energy X-ray scattering (HEXS) data to quantify Zr correlations in a series of solutions as a function of sulfate concentration. The pair distribution function (PDF) from the sulfate-free sample reveals that the average oligomeric Zr moiety is larger than the tetrameric building unit, [Zr4(OH)8(H2O)16](8+), generally understood to dominate its solution speciation. At sulfate concentrations greater than 1 m (molal), bidentate sulfate is observed, a coordination not seen in Zr(SO4)2·4H2O (2), which forms upon evaporation. Also seen in solution are correlations consistent with sulfate-bridged Zr dimers and the higher-order oligomers seen in 2. At intermediate sulfate concentrations there are correlations consistent with large Zr hydroxo-/oxo-bridged clusters. Crystals of [Zr18(OH)26O20(H2O)23.2(SO4)12.7]Cl0.6·nH2O (3) precipitate from these solutions. The Raman spectrum of 3 has a peak at 1017 cm(-1) that can be used as a signature for its presence in solution. Raman studies on deuterated solutions point to the important role of sulfate in the crystallization process. These solution results emphasize the presence of well-defined prenucleation correlations on length scales of <1 nm, often considered to be within the structurally amorphous regime.
