Extraction and coordination studies of the unexplored bifunctional ligand carbamoyl methyl sulfoxide (CMSO) with uranium(VI) and cerium(III) nitrates. Synthesis and structures of [UO2(NO3)(2)((PhSOCH2CONBu2)-Bu-i)] and [Ce(NO3)(3)(PhSOCH2CONBu2)(2)]

The bifunctional carbamoyl methyl sulfoxide ligands, PhCH2SOCH2CONHPh (L-1), PhCH2SOCH2CONHCH2Ph (L-2), (PhSOCH2CONPr2)-Pr-i (L-3), PhSOCH2CONBu2 (L-4), (PhSOCH2CONBu2)-Bu-i (L-5) and PhSOCH2CON(C8H17)(2) (L-6) have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The selected coordination chemistry of L-1, L-3, L-4 and L-5 with [UO2(NO3)(2)] and [Ce(NO3)(3)] has been evaluated. The structures of the compounds [UO2(NO3)(2)((PhSOCH2CONBu2)-Bu-i)] (10) and [Ce(NO3)(3)(PhSOCH2CONBu2)(2)] (12) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Preliminary extraction studies of ligand L-6 with U(VI), Pu(IV) and Am(III) in tracer level showed an appreciable extraction for U(VI) and Pu(IV) in up to 10 M HNO3 but not for Am(III). Thermal studies on compounds 8 and 10 in air revealed that the ligands can be destroyed completely on incineration. The electron spray mass spectra of compounds 8 and 10 in acetone show that extensive ligand distribution reactions occur in solution to give a mixture of products with ligand to metal ratios of 1 : 1 and 2 : 1. However, 10 retains its solid state structure in CH2Cl2.

Coordination and extraction studies of an unexplored bi-functional ligand, carbamoyl methyl pyrazole (CMPz) with uranium(VI), lanthanum(III) and cerium(III) nitrates

The bi-functional carbamoyl methyl pyrazole ligands, C5H7N2CH2CONBu2 (L-1), (C5H7N2CH2CONBu2)-Bu-i (L-2), C3H3N2CH2CONBu2 (L-3), (C3H3N2CH2CONBu2)-Bu-i (L-4) and C5H7N2CH2CON(C8H17)(2) (L-5) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and elemental analysis methods. The selected coordination chemistry of L-1 to L-4 with [UO2(NO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O], [La(NO3)(3)center dot 6H(2)O] and [Ce(NO3)(3)center dot 6H(2)O] has been evaluated. Structures for the compounds [UO2(NO3)(2) C5H7N2CH2CONBu2] (6) [UO2(NO3)(2) (C5H7N2CHCONBu2)-Bu-i] (7) and [Ce(NO3)(3){C(3)H(3)N(2)CH(2)CON(i)Bu2}(2)] (11) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Preliminary extraction studies of the ligand L-5 with U(VI) and Pu(IV) in tracer level showed an appreciable extraction for U(VI) and Pu(TV) up to 10 M HNO3 but not for Am(III). Thermal studies of the compounds 6 and 7 in air revealed that the ligands can be destroyed completely on incineration. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
