Title: A Combined Density Functional Theory and Spectrophotometry Study of the Bonding Interactions of [NpO2·M]4+ Cation–Cation Complexes

Abstract

The equilibrium constants for [NpO2M∙]4+ (M = Al3+, In3+, Sc3+, Fe3+) in μ = 10 M nitric acid and [NpO2∙Ga]4+ in μ = 10 M hydrochloric acid media have been determined. The trend in the interaction strength follows: Fe3+ > Sc3+ In3+ > Ga3+ Al3+. These equilibrium constants are compared to those of previously reported values for NpO2+ complexes with Cr3+ and Rh3+ within the literature. Thermodynamic parameters and bonding modes are discussed, with density functional theory and natural bond orbital analysis indicating that the NpO2+ dioxocation acts as a -donor with transition-metal cations and a sigma donor with group 13 cations. The small changes in electron-donating ability is modulated by the overlap with the coordinating metal ion's valence atomic orbitals.
