Plutonium Gets a Cage
Abstract
ABSTRACT Fellhauer et al. report the first plutonyl cage cluster, {Pu60}, marking a major advance in plutonium chemistry (DOI: 10.1002/anov.70018 ). Its unique distorted truncated dodecahedral topology expands the known library of aqueous actinide species and points toward nanoscale control of plutonium through tunable cage structures, counter‐cations, and ligand substitutions.
