Several classes of ionic liquids were employed to develop coordination compounds and hybrid materials that expand on the topological diversity of solid-state uranyl structures and systematically investigate, through judicious selection of incorporated moieties, the importance and role of various structure directing factors (i.e. steric affects, hydrogen bonding, pH, temperature, etc.)A second area of research investigates transuranic cyanometallates, and demonstrates marked differences between pentavalent neptunium and hexavalent uranium chemistry. cache/x346d221071.txt txt/x346d221071.txt
