“…These colloids and polymers also take part in the Pu(IV) to Pu(V) oxidation with its following disproportionation. 23,30 These small Pu polymers detected by ESI-TOF might be also responsible for the equilibration between the Pu(III)/Pu(IV) and Pu(V)/Pu(VI) plutonyl species. 23 However, to determine exactly if other oxidation states of Pu are present, one needs to use a direct method of probing Pu electronic 5f states at real state conditions.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
