Abstract

Over 70 years of chemical investigations have shown that plutonium exhibits some of the most complicated chemistry in the periodic table. Six Pu oxidation states have been unambiguously confirmed (0 and +3 to +7), and four different oxidation states can exist simultaneously in solution. We report a new formal oxidation state for plutonium, namely Pu
