Abstract

Crystals of a hydrated Pu(III) chloride, (C₅H₅NBr)₂[PuCl₃(H₂O)₅]·2Cl·2H₂O, were grown via slow evaporation from acidic aqueous, high chloride media. X-ray diffraction data reveals the neutral [PuCl₃(H₂O)₅] tecton is assembled via charge assisted hydrogen and halogen bonds donated by 4-bromopyridinium cations and a series of inter-tecton hydrogen bonds.
