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 ...
