Abstract

A Np(V) neptunyl metal-organic framework (MOF) with rod-shaped secondary building units was synthesized, characterized, and irradiated with γ rays. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data revealed an anionic framework containing infinite helical chains of actinyl-actinyl interaction (AAI)-connected neptunyl ions linked together through tetratopic tetrahedral organic ligands (
