Spectrophotometric, radiometric (..gamma..-spectrophotometric), and elemental analyses were used to determine the composition, solubility, and concentration stability constant K of complexes of Pu(IV) with H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/ in the system 30% TBP + n-dodecane containing 0.45 M HNO/sub 3/. For a Pu(IV) concentration of approx. 1 x 10/sup -2/ M and a molar concentration ratio of H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/ and Pu(IV) of less than or equal to 2.5 the sparingly soluble (1.8 x 10/sup -3/ M) complex Pu(HPO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ is formed. In the range of H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/ concentrations (C/sub L//sup 0/) from 5 x 10/sup -3/ to 3.0 x 10/sup -2/ M the value of K does not depend on C/sub L//sup 0/ and is (1.8 +/- 0.6) x 10/sup 5/ liter/sup 2//mole/sup 2/. The results are discussed and compared with the interaction of Pu(IV) with DBPA and MBPA in aqueous and organic solutions.
