Crystals of a hydrated Pu(iii) chloride, (C 5 H 5 NBr) 2 [PuCl 3 (H 2 O) 5 ]·2Cl·2H 2 O, were grown via slow evaporation from acidic aqueous, high chloride media. X-ray diffraction data reveals the neutral [PuCl 3 (H 2 O) 5 ] tecton is assembled via charge assisted hydrogen and halogen bonds donated by 4-bromopyridinium cations and a series of inter-tecton hydrogen bonds.
