Plutonyl typically refers to a compound containing plutonium in a specific oxidation state, often used in the context of nuclear chemistry. The term can denote plutonium in the +4 or +6 oxidation state, commonly appearing in plutonium dioxide (PuO₂) or plutonium trioxide (PuO₃) compounds. Plutonyl species, especially plutonyl ions, are important in processes involving the chemistry of actinides and nuclear waste management.
