The coordination chemistry of actinides in ionic liquids: A review of experiment and simulation

Lanthanides and Actinides in Ionic Liquids

“…68 Uranium(VI) oxide solubilizes in basic chloroaluminate ionic liquids to form a series of uranyl chloro complexes that can be formulated as [UO 2 Cl 4+x ] (2x+1)-, where x ) 0-2. 69 The research groups of Seddon and Hussey studied the structure of the uranium salts 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexachlorouranate(IV), [ 70 The crystal structures of these compounds have been reported.…”

Electrochemical Studies on Uranyl(VI) Chloride Complexes in 1-Butyl-3-methyl- imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids and Their Application to Pyro-Reprocessing and Treatment of Wastes Contaminated with Uranium

“…In the nuclear industry field, ILs are expected to be applied as media for reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels and treatment of radioactive wastes contaminated with radioactive nuclides (Bladley et al, 2002;Rogers et al, 2002;Giridhar et al, 2006;Cocalia et al, 2006;Giridhar et al, 2007;Binnemans, 2007). In this chapter, our feasibility studies on applications of ILs as the media of pyroreprocessing processes and the treatment method of radioactive wastes contaminated with uranium will be introduced.…”

Ionic Liquid as a Green Media for Rapid Synthesis of Optically Active Organosoluble Polyamides

“…The term IL is generally used to explain a large set of low melting fused organic salts that are liquids below 100 • C. Exclusive characteristics of the ILs, as low vapor pressure -due to the strong columbic attraction between ions -, non-flammability, thermal stability, wide liquid range and solvating properties for diverse materials make them exceptional green solvents and catalysts [1][2][3][4]. Numerous attempts have been directed at the application of ILs for a variety of polymerization methods, such as coordinative [5], radical [6][7][8][9][10], cationic [11][12][13], enzymatic [14], electrochemical [15,16] and step-growth [17][18][19][20][21][22] polymerizations.…”
