Pentavalent uranium chemistry—synthetic pursuit of a rare oxidation state

Christopher R. Graves and Jaqueline L. Kiplinger

This feature article presents a comprehensive overview of pentavalent uranium systems in non-aqueous solution with a focus on the various synthetic avenues employed to access this unusual and very important oxidation state. Selected characterization data and theoretical aspects are also included. The purpose is to provide a perspective on this rapidly evolving field and identify new possibilities for future developments in pentavalent uranium chemistry.
