Ion association with tetra-n-alkylammonium cations stabilizes higher-oxidation-state neptunium dioxocations

The electrochemical behaviour of redox-active metal cations foremost depends on the metal centre’s inner-sphere coordination environment. Here the authors show that electrolyte cations unexpectedly stabilize higher-oxidation-state neptunium dioxocations in water through extended-coordination sphere...
