Abstrakt: We now report the 237Np Mössbauer spectra for [NpO2(acac)2py] I. The neptunium(VI) ion in I is coordinated by six oxygen atoms and the one nitrogen atom of pyridine. The isomer shift value obtained for I is −40 mm/s, which falls in the range for the Np(VI) oxidation state. The relationship between the isomer shift and Np-O bond distance of the neptunyl group for oxygen coordination compounds is in good agreement with the reported structure of I. It is well known that the mean Np-O bond distance of the neptunium compounds is shorter by 0.01 Å than that of analogous uranium compounds. The good agreement in the 237Np-Mössbauer parameters and the Np-O distance has indicated that the reported analogous [UO2(acac)2py] structure may have some inaccuracies. Therefore, we have redetermined the crystal structure of [UO2(acac)2py]. The U-O bond distance we have obtained is reasonable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
