Abstract

The complexation between uranium(VI) and acetate in 1.05 mol kg(-1) NaClO4 was studied at variable temperatures (25, 35, 45, 55 and 70 degreesC). The formation constants of three successive complexes, UO2 (OOCCH3)(+), UO2 (OOCCH3)(2) and UO2 (OOCCH3)(3)(-), and the molar enthalpies of complexation were determined by potentiometry and calorimetry. Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy (EXAFS) provided structural information to identify the coordination modes of the acetate in the complexes in solution, which helped to interpret the trends in the enthalpy and entropy of the complexation. The effect of temperature on the stability of the complexes is discussed in terms of the electrostatic model.
