Complexation of U(VI) with diphenyldithiophosphinic acid: spectroscopy,structure and DFT calculations

The complexation of U(VI) with diphenyldithiophosphinic acid (denoted as HL) in acetonitrile was studied by UV–Vis, FT-IR, crystallography and DFT calculations. UV–Vis absorption spectrophotometry implies that three successive complexes, UO₂L⁺, UO₂L₂, UO₂L₃^?, form in the solution. Significant ligand to metal charge transfer occurs from soft atom S to U(VI) in all the three complexes. A crystal of UO₂L₂ complex was successfully synthesized from the solution. In the crystal both the two ligands coordinate to U(VI) in bidentate form. DFT calculations confirm the formation of UO₂L₃^? complex and help illustrate the structures of all the U(VI) species in the solution.

Tremendous impact of substituent group on the extraction and selectivity to Am(III) over Eu(III) by diaryldithiophosphinic acids: experimental and DFT analysis

Comparative extraction of Am³⁺ over Eu³⁺ from nitric acid media by three dithiophosphinic acids (L) bearing different substituent aryl groups was studied. Within the experimental pH range, the distribution ratio of Am³⁺ and Eu³⁺ increases with the increase of pH due to deprotonation of the acidic extractant. Both the extraction and separation ability toward Am³⁺/Eu³⁺ by these extractants were affected drastically by the substituent aryl groups. The bis-phenyl substituted extractant shows almost no ability to extract and separate Am³⁺ from Eu³⁺, while bis(ortho-trifluoromethylphenyl) dithiophosphinic acid has the optimum extraction and separation capabilities. To help reveal the complexation and extraction behavior, the structure and bonding characters of neutral ML₃ (M?=?Am or Eu) complexes as well as the biphasic extraction reaction were studied by density functional theory (DFT). The conduct-like screening model implicit solvation model was used to simulate the extraction reaction in the aqueous-toluene biphasic system. The calculated sequence of the Gibbs free energy difference of extraction (ΔΔG ^Am/Eu_ext ) is consistent with the experimental results.

     

钐填充skutterudite化合物的晶体结构和热电性能

以Sm作为填充原子,用熔融法结合放电等离子快速烧结技术（SPS）制备出了单相的SmyFexCo4-xSb12化合物。Rietveld精确化结果表明：所制备的SmyFexCo4-xSb12化合物具有填充式skutterudite结构,Sm的热振动参量（B）比Sb和Fe／Co的大,说明Sm在SmyFexCo4-xSb12化合物中具有扰动效应。热电性能测试结果表明：随着Sm原子填充分数的增加,SmyFexCo4-xSb12化合物的电导率减小;Seebeck系数增加,在填充分数为0．38时达最大值;热导率减小,在填充分数为0．32时最低。Sm0．32Fe1．47Co2．53Sb12化合物在750K时具有最大热电性能指数ZTmax值为0．68。
