  Electronic structure calculations combining the local-density approximation
with an exact diagonalization of the Anderson impurity model show an
intermediate 5f^5-5f^6-valence ground state and delocalization of the 5f^5
multiplet of the Pu atom 5f-shell in PuCoIn_5, PuCoGa_5, and \delta-Pu. The
5f-local magnetic moment is compensated by a moment formed in the surrounding
cloud of conduction electrons. For PuCoGa_5 and \delta-Pu the compensation is
complete and the Anderson impurity ground state is a singlet. For PuCoIn_5 the
compensation is partial and the Pu ground state is magnetic. We suggest that
the unconventional d-wave superconductivity is likely mediated by the 5f-states
antiferromagnetic fluctuations in PuCoIn_5, and by valence fluctuations in
PuCoGa_5.
