Cation–cation interaction in novel Np(V) compound with methylimidazole as a model of histidine side chain

The reaction of NpO2(CH3SO3) with methylimidazole results in the formation of novel Np(V) complex with cation–cation interaction, [NpO2(MeIm)(CH3SO3)(H2O)]. The crystal structure is confirmed by IR and UV–vis spectroscopic data.

Reaction of Np(V) methansulfonate with methylimidazole led to the formation of complex as determined using X-ray single crystal diffractometry. The crystal structure is confirmed by IR and UV–vis spectroscopic data. Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
