Reinvestigation of tris­odium dihydroxido­tetra­oxidoneptunate(VII) dihydrate

The title compound, Na3[NpO4(OH)2]·2H2O, contains distorted tetra­gonal–bipyramidal centrosymmetric [NpO4(OH)2]3− complex anions. The Np—O distances are 1.8975 (7) and 1.8891 (7) Å in the NpO4 group and 2.3451 (7) Å to the OH group. Both Na atoms (one in a general position, the second in a special position on an inversion centre) have a distorted octahedral oxygen environment
