Complex formation of peroxouranyl (and uranyl) with polyaminocarboxylate ligands

  • 1. Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie, 67 - Strasbourg (France)

Description

Complexation of the uranyl ion (UO22+) and of the peroxouranyl species (UO4) by some polyaminocarboxylate ligands has been investigated in solution (3M NaClO4) at 25 deg C. The logarithms of the cumulative formation constants of the UO22+ chelates formed are: UO2edta2- (15.65), UO2Hedta-(18.59), (UO2)2edta (20.24); UO2edda (16.02); UO2Hnta (12.19); UO2ida (9.63), UO2H2(ida)2 (23.80). The equilibrium UO22+ + H2O2 <--> UO4 + 2H+ has a stability of log K = -3.99. The peroxocomplexes formed are UO4Hedda- (14.81, expressed from UO22+ and H2O2) and UO4Hnta2- (8.50). Solution structures of the chelates are proposed. (author)
