Thorium(IV), uranium(IV) and uranium(VI) salicylaldiminate complexes : synthesis, structure and reactivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The following report is split into two sections, both utilizing salicylaldiminate ligands. In the first portion, tetravalent uranium is reacted with ...
Nuclear forensic applications of uranium oxide chemistry and morphology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The entire nuclear fuel cycle is a chemistry-intensive process, from accessing the raw materials from ore, to enriching and forming the fuels, to the ...
Synthesis and reactivity of actinide phosphorano-stabilized carbene and phosphido complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Nuclear power plants have been operated in the United States for over 60 years, generating over 800 terawatt-hours of energy per year. However, there is still no reliable process to recycle the spent nuclear fuel. This ...
Coordination chemistry of actinides and fission products (lanthanides and molybdenum) with neutral or acidic phosphine oxide ligands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Reprocessing in the nuclear fuel cycle is becoming essential considering the increasing demands for energy world-wide and the role nuclear energy will have in the future. Reprocessing not only aids in prolonging the supply ...
Synthesis and reactivity of low-valent uranium and neptunium complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Chapter 1 reports the synthesis and characterization of U(IV) and Np(IV) selenium bis(phenolate) complexes. The reaction of the U(IV) complex with half an equivalent of p-benzoquinone results in the formation of a U(V)--U(V) ...
Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of actinide complexes bearing An-E bonds (An = Th, U; E = P, As)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Organoactinide complexes bearing An-E (An = Th, U; E = P, As) bonds were synthesized and reactivity studies were performed with various unsaturated and industrially/environmentally relevant small molecules in an effort to ...
Synthesis and characterization of pn monoanionic ligands and their reactivity with actinides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Organoactinide complexes have gained much popularity in the recent decades particularly in the field of nuclear waste sequestration. With the increase of nuclear power along side other residual nuclear waste from power ...
