In pursuit of selective sequestration of plutonium… the synthesis and structural analysis of [Pu IV {5LIO(Me‐3,2‐HOPO)} 2 ], the first Pu IV hydroxypyridonate complex (see center: Pu: yellow, N: blue, O: red, C: gray) has been reported. The structure of the deep purple crystals (inset right) was determined by using a small‐molecule diffractometer at the Advanced Light Source (inset left). More details of this fascinating chemistry are described in the Full Paper by K. N. Raymond, D. K. Shuh et al. on p. 2842.
