Abstract
The work described in this thesis was an investigation into the coordination chemistry of uranium(VI) and neptunium(VI). Structural determinations of comparable uranium and neptunium compounds were used to examine the actinide contraction between uranium and neptunium, the changes in metal-ligand bond length on substituting nitrogen for oxygen as the donor atom and to establish the mode of coordination of certain ligands around the actinyl(VI) ion.
These areas have been explored through the determination of the crystal structures of the following compounds:-
a) The 2,2'-dipyridyl complexes [CO2(NO3),C10H8N2], [NpO2(N [UOa(CH3COO)2Cl0H8N2] and [NpO2a(CH3COO)2C10H8N2].
b) The 1,10-phenanthroline complex [C02(NC3)2C12H8N2].
c) The pentan-2,4-dionate complexes [CO2(CH3COCHCOCH3)aC5H5N],
[NpOa(CH3COCHCOCH3)2C 5HsN],
[UO2(CH3COCHCOCH3)a.HaO] and
[U0aCH3C0CHC0CH3)2H2C[UO2CH3COCHCOCH3(NO3)2 [(CH3)3C5H3N]*
d) The 4,4'-dipyridyl compound [(UO2(NO3)2OH2] [C10H10N2]2*
In addition the structure determination of the compound bis(nitrato)dioxo tetrakis(glycinato)uranium(VI) showed that the glycine ligands are coordinated via the oxygen atoms with two bidentate and two monodentate glycines. Other structures which have been determined are the mixed oxidation state neptunium alkali metal salt [CsTNp( v,Oa(Np( w|Oa)aClia], the organoneptunium(IV) compound
[(CsHs)CI3Np(OPPh3)a] and the photo-oxidation product [L'OjfCCIjCOOICMOPPhj),]
There is also an uncompleted structure of a 1,10-phenanthroline complex with uranyl(VI)acetate which is described as far as possible.
