The /sup 31/P and /sup 1/H spectra at -90/sup 0/C of the title uranyl complex ions (prepared as solutions of the solid perchlorates in inert anhydrous organic solvents (CH/sub 3/NO/sub 2/, CH/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/)) reveal a pentacoordinated arrangement of two symmetrically doubly bonded NIPA molecules and one solvent molecule about the uranyl group. In the case of (UO/sub 2/(NIPA)/sub 2/(EtOH))(ClO/sub 4/)/sub 2/, an intermolecular exchange between bound and free ethanol molecules is observed above -75/sup 0/C upon addition of ethanol to a solution of the complex. The observed rate law, k/sub inter/ = kK(EtOH)/(1 + K(EtOH) is accounted for by the existence of an outer-sphere complex (UO/sub 2//sup 2 +/(NIPA)/sub 2/(EtOH))EtOH in fast equilibrium (K) with the initial complex and free ethanol. The rate-determining step (k) consists of an outer-sphere to inner-sphere interchange of ethanol molecules. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters are K(25/sup 0/C) = 15.8 dm/sup 3/ mol/sup -1/, k(25/sup 0/C) = 1.0 x 10/sup 4/s/sup -1/, ..delta..H and ..delta..H/sub inter//sup + +/ = -4.8 and 7.6 kcal mol/sup -1/, and ..delta..S and ..delta..S/sub inter//sup + +/ = 10.7 and -14.7 eu. A second exchange takes place at higher temperatures (above -30/sup 0/C) yielding full dynamic equivalence of the phosphorus nuclei of the coordinated NIPA molecules. The observed rate law k/sub intra/ = k/sub ex/(1 + K(EtOH)) reveals that the internal rearrangement of NIPA molecules occurs on the complex ion (UO/sub 2/(NIPA)/sub 2/(EtOH))/sup 2 +/ but not on the outer-sphere complex: k/sub ex/(25/sup 0/C) = 0.91 x 10/sup 3/s/sup -1/, ..delta..H/sub intra//sup + +/ = 10.6 kcal mol/sup -1/ and ..delta..S/sub intra//sup + +/ = -9.4 eu. Possible mechanisms for this exchange are discussed. 5 figures, 2 tables.
