Laser-Induced Thermal Decomposition of Uranium Coordination Compounds with Non-oxidic Ligands to Produce Nitride and Carbide Materials

Maryline G. Ferrier,
Bradley C. Childs,
Chinthaka M. Silva
et al.

Abstract: The production of ceramics from uranium coordination compounds can be achieved through thermal processing if an excess amount of the desired atoms (i.e., C or N), or reactive gaseous products (e.g., methane or nitrogen oxide) is made available to the reactive uranium metal core via decomposition/fragmentation of the surrounding ligand groups. Here, computational thermodynamic approaches were utilized to identify the temperatures necessary to produce uranium metal from some starting compoundsUI4(TMEDA)2, UCl4(… Show more

“…1–3 Reported studies in this area provide insight into potential uses of depleted uranium and fundamental knowledge of uranium coordination chemistry involved in applications such as actinide separations in nuclear waste. 4–8 Within this context, there have been widespread reports of redox-active and redox-inactive ligands used to form complexes of U III , 9–16 and one of those ligands, 2.2.2-cryptand, has been widely used to encapsulate metal ions, including U III . 17–19 Further, the coordination chemistry of U III , Np III , and Pu III with 2.2.2-cryptand has been reported recently, 20 expanding cryptand chemistry into the actinides.…”
