The redox behavior of actinides is particularly complex because these elements have both many degrees of oxidation and many disproportionation reactions. In the case of plutonium, the most common oxidation states in the aqueous phase are +3 to +6. For the +3 and +4 oxidation states the solution ions are in the aquo hydrate form whereas the +5 and +6 oxidation states are in the "yle" form, ie...
Complexity of An chemistry in aqueous oxo-salt systems is dominated by their redox behavior. It’s became even more complex in the systems where oxo-salts are also redox sensitive, for example in Se and I based systems. In order to better understand the chemistry of An in Se based oxo-systems we performed a series of systematic research on reactivity and phase formation of An bearing selenates...
As known, in classical crystal chemistry special attention is paid to closest sphere packings, which satisfy the Laves’ maximum space filling (MSF) principle. The most important to crystal chemistry closest sphere packings are the face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) ones. In terms of such packings, atoms in crystal structures are treated as hard spheres of constant...
The halogen family is generally assumed to stop at iodine. Does astatine, element 85, continue the vertical trend of the halogens, does it behave like a metal? Unfortunately, little is known of the basic chemistry of astatine: it is a rare (only short-lived isotopes can be produced) and “invisible” (the amount of produced 211At requires working at ultra-trace concentrations) element. In the...
Uranium metal as well as other light actinides are weak Pauli paramagnets, i.e. do not exhibit magnetic moments. The reason is a large overlap of the 5f wave functions centered on nearest U neighbours. The 5f states form consequently a broad 5f band. Increasing the U-U spacing in compounds makes the 5f band narrower and eventually U moments are formed and order (ferro- or antiferromagnetic...
