Abstract
The compound (NpO

2O)
4 was synthesized by evaporation of a Np
5+ sulfate solution. The crystal structure was determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to an

3, and
Z=2. The structure contains neptunyl pentagonal bipyramids that share vertices through cation–cation interactions to form a sheet or cationic net. The sheet is decorated on each side by vertex sharing with sulfate tetrahedra, and adjacent sheets are linked together through hydrogen bonding. A graphical representation of (NpO

5+ compounds. The prevalence of the cationic nets in neptunyl sulfate compounds related to the overall stability of the structure is also discussed.
