T1 - First hexanuclear U IV and Th IV formate complexes - Structure and stability range in aqueous solution N2 - The actinide(IV) hexanuclear [M6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(HCOO)12(LT)6] complexes were prepared (LT = H2O or CH3OH). Their structures were investigated by single-crystal X-ray analysis and XAFS spectroscopy. HCOO– acts as a bridging ligand, which prevents the formation of polynuclear hydrolysis species like UIV hydrous oxide colloids at least up to pH = 3.25, and stabilizes the nanosized clusters in solution. The charge of the hexamer is balanced by the O/OH ratio of the μ3-bridges.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
