Abstract

The exchange reaction UO₂(NO₃)₂·2TBP + TBP^* ⇌ TBP + UO₂(NO₃)₂·2TBP^* was studied in acetonitrile and was found to be catalyzed by water and methanol and to be inhibited by added nitrate. The observations were interpreted in terms of a mechanism composed of two parallel reactions: one which proceeds via a UO₂(NO₃)₂·3TBP activated complex, similar to what happens in low dielectric constant solvents, and one which depends on ionization of uranyl nitrate and a UO₂(NO₃)·3TBP+ activated complex. Rate constants and activation energies and entropies were evaluated.
