Abstract: A polysomatic series of complex oxides for actinide immobilization is based on the incorporation of pyrochlore nanoclusters (light brown) into modified murataite-like frameworks (blue). Oxides from this series may be viewed as a complex form of radioactive waste and are one of the most elaborate families of nanoscale-tuned complex oxides known to date.
