Abstract
We report the first trivalent actinide complexes with a Wells–Dawson polyoxometalate. Americium(III) forms two distinct phases: triclinic K17Am(P2W17O61)2·42.5H2O and monoclinic K17Am(P2W17O61)2·12H2O. Curium(III) crystallizes as monoclinic K17Cm(P2W17O61)2·8H2O. XRD-quality single crystals were obtained from just ∼330 nanograms of actinides. This work establishes clear structure–property relationships that will guide investigations on scarce f-elements.
