Abstract

Organic ligands with carboxylate functionalities have been shown to affect the solubility, speciation, and overall chemical behavior of tetravalent metal ions. While many reports have focused on actinide complexation by relatively simple monocarboxylates such as amino acids, in this work we examined Th(IV) and U(IV) complexation by 4-hydroxybenzoic acid in water with the aim of understanding the impact that the organic backbone has on the solution and solid state structural chemistry of thorium(IV) and uranium(IV) complexes. Two compounds of the general formula [An
