Abstract

The hydration of the actinyl cations, uranyl UO2(super 2+) and plutonyl PuO2(super 2+), has been investigated. Kohn-Sham Density Function Theory calculations using the MAGIC quantuam chemistry code have been performed on the separate uranyl and plutonyl species, and on the complexes AcO2(super 2+).nH2O (AC = U, Pu; N = 4, 5, 6). The results showed that the solvent plays a critical role in the hydration process wherein the solvent molecules were found to behave like actual binding equatorial ligands.

Actinium -- Research, Radiochemical research -- 1899 AD
Abstract

There was more in uranium ores than the polonium and radium that the Curies had detected (see 1898). In 1899 the French chemist Andre-Louis Debierne (1874-1949), a close friend of […]
