Uranium(IV) sulfate species in an aqueous solution and in the solid state has been investigated by extended X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray diffraction. The coordination polyhedron was found to comprise unidentate and bidentate sulfate ions, and water molecules both in the aqueous solution phase and in the solid state.
