Abstract:
Results from steady-state and transient photokinetic and spectroscopic measurements, show the formation in aqueous solution of a triple radiative exciplex between excited UO2+2 and TI+. Rate constants of exciplex formation and deactivation are evaluated The nature of bonding and the emittive properties of this species, of probable 1(Tl·OUO-Tl)4+ structure, are discussed.
