The anion of the title complex, Cs2[PuCl4O2], adopts a pseudo-octahedral geometry (2/m crystallographic site symmetry) with two plutonyl oxide ligands in axial sites and four chloride ligands occupying the equatorial plane. Charge balance is maintained by two caesium cations per tetrachloridodioxidoplutonate(VI) anion. Principal bond lengths include Pu—O = 1.752 (3) Å and Pu—Cl = 2.6648 (8) Å.
