Abstract The existence of Pu(VIII) was shown in alkaline solutions and in nonpolar solvents (CCl4 and CHCl3) on the ground of such experimental facts like extraction of plutonium species, obtained by means of ozonization of Pu(VI) alkaline solutions into CCl4 and CHCl3; volatility of Pu compounds out of aqueous alkaline solutions, and the mentioned solvents. The product of interaction between PuO3 · 0.8H2O and XeF2 in CCl4 and CHCl3 was of the same chemical form for both cases and identical…

TLDR
Calculations on PuO(n)F(8-2n) (n = 0-4) molecules notably confirm that PuO2F4 has both (1)D(4h) and (5)C(2v) minima with the oxidation states Pu(VIII) and Pu( V), respectively, with the latter having lower energy.

TLDR
The Mulliken population of Pu in Pu (VII) and Pu (VIII) complexes are very similar, suggesting that the spin-orbit effect is rather small in Pu( VII) complexes and that when Pu(VII) is oxidized to Pu(VIII), the electron is stripped mainly from the ligand.
Crystal structure of a Pu(VII) potassium salt, K3PuO4(OH)2·2H2O
A new Pu(VII) compound, K3PuO4(OH)2·2H2O, was synthesized, and its structure was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This compound is isostructural to the previously described…

Experimental data points to the existence of plutonium(VIII) in alkaline solutions
The ozonising of an alkaline Pu VI solution resulted in the formation of both Pu VII and Pu VIII , and the black-blue colour earlier was ascribed to Pu VII .

TLDR
The detailed comparison of these prototype systems with their 5d(0) transition metal analogues reveals in detail how the 5f orbitals modify the structural preferences of the actinide complexes relative to the transition metal systems.
