The direct dissolution of voloxidized used nuclear fuel (UNF) into an organic solution-comprised diluent and specialized extractants-poses a promising alternative to the traditional liquid-liquid solvent extraction approach reprocessing UNF. However, moving removes presence concentrated nitric acid aqueous phase, which has been shown significantly influence radiolytic longevity extractants in conventional flowsheets. Given limited knowledge radiation effects under conditions, here we present...

First-of-a-kind temperature-controlled electron pulse radiolysis experiments facilitated the radiation-induced formation of Am(IV) in concentrated (6.0 M) HNO
Careful manipulation of the plutonium oxidation states is essential in study and utilization its rich redox chemistry. To achieve this level control, a comprehensive mechanistic understanding radiation-induced chemistry critical due to unavoidable exposure ionizing radiation fields, both inherent from in-process applications. end, we have developed an experimentally evaluated multiscale computer model for prediction gamma Pu(IV) concentrated nitric acid solutions (1.0, 3.0, 6.0 M). Under...
Well defined rhodium complexes for probing the coordination site preference of partially fluorinated benzenes.
While synthesizing a series of rhenium-lanthanide triple inverse sandwich complexes, we unexpectedly uncovered evidence for rare examples end-on lanthanide dinitrogen coordination certain heavy elements as well uranium. We begin our report with the synthesis and characterization trirhenium complexes early lanthanides, Ln[(μ-η
Simple lanthanide cyclopentadienyl (Cp) complexes can photochemically cleave the sp3 carbon-chlorine bond of unactivated chlorinated hydrocarbons including polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The excited state lifetimes these simple are long (175 ns for (CpMe4)2CeCl) and light absorption by Cp ligand is efficient, so photocatalytic reactivity enhanced cerium now also made possible neighboring, normally photoinactive, congeners.
