Title: Thermal stability of uranyl complexes with neutral oxygen-containing organic bases

Journal Article · · Sov. Radiochem. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6559095

The thermal stability of uranyl chloride, nitrate, and oxalate with a series of neutral oxygen-containing organic ligands is discussed. It was found that the temperatures of removal of chlorine are higher than the stripping of the first molecule of the base in complexes UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/ x 2L. This is an indication of greater strength of the bonds of the Cl/sup -/ ions to the uranyl group in comparison with the investigated bases. It was shown that the temperatures of removal of a mole of neutral ligands depend little on the nature of the anions and exhibit a correlation with the donor capacity of the bases: Ac < TBP < DMFA similarly ordered DMSO < TBPO similarly ordered PyO. The chemistry of the decomposition of the complexes and the strength of the binding of the acido- and neutral ligands in them are discussed.
