ternary neptunium(V) (Np(V)) hydroxides Na0.5[NpO2(OH)1.5]·0.5H2O (I) and Na[NpO2(OH)2] (II) were synthesized
in aqueous NaOH solutions at T = 80 °C, and
their crystal structures were determined to be monoclinic, P21, Z = 2, a = 5.9859(2), b = 10.1932(3), c = 12.1524(4) Å, β = 98.864(1)°, V = 732.63(4) Å3 for (I) and orthorhombic, P212121, Z = 4, a = 5.856(7), b = 7.621(9), c = 8.174(9) Å, V = 364.8(7) Å3 for (II). By combining the detailed structural
information with results from systematic solubility investigations,
a comprehensive chemical and thermodynamic model of the Np(V) behavior
in NaCl–NaOH solutions was evaluated. The results reveal a
great stability of the ternary Na–Np(V)–OH solid phases
that significantly enhances the predominance field of the entire Np(V)
redox state to high alkalinity.
