Coordination Characteristics of Uranyl BBP Complexes: Insights from an Electronic Structure Analysis
- Department of Applied Science, University of California, Davis, California 95616, United States
Organic ligand complexes of lanthanide/actinide ions have been studied extensively for applications in nuclear fuel storage and recycling. Several complexes of 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazyl)pyridine (H2BBP) featuring the uranyl moiety have been reported recently, and the present study investigates the coordination characteristics of these complexes using density functional theory-based electronic structure analysis. In particular, with the aid of several computational models, the nonplanar equatorial coordination about uranyl, observed in some of the compounds, is studied and its origin traced to steric effects.
