Complexes of various uranyl salts with hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA), whose structures were studied with the aid of IR and Raman spectroscopy, as well as a luminescence-spectroscopic analysis, have been isolated from aqueous solutions. It has been discovered that the formation of the complex UO/sub 2/(ClO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ x 4HMPA results in the displacement of the perchlorate ions from the inner coordination sphere of the uranyl ion by the HMPA molecules. Displacement of the anions of the acids is not observed in the case of the sulfate and nitrate complexes. The absence of water of crystallization and inner-sphere water is characteristic of all the complexes obtained. The results of the work make it possible to designate the place of HMPA in the displacement series of ligands.
