Abstract

K[(NpO2)(SiO3OH)]·H2O (I) and K[(PuO2)(SiO3OH)]·H2O (II) were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis at 120°C, and their IR and near-IR spectra were measured. The unit cell parameters of the compounds were determined from powder X-ray patterns [a = 7.068(1), b = 7.064(2), c = 6.640(1) Å. β = 106.68(1)°, V = 317.6 Å3 (I); a = 7.102(1), b = 7.100(2), c = 6.637(1) Å, β = 107.62(1)°, V = 318.9 Å3 (II)]. These compounds are isostructural with potassium boltwoodite K[(UO2)(SiO3OH)]·H2O.
