Abstract

Knowledge-based design of extracting agents for selective binding of actinides is essential in stock-pile stewardship, environmental remediation, separations, and nuclear fuel disposal. Robust computational protocols are critical for in depth understanding of structural properties and to further advance the design of selective ligands. In particular, rapid radiochemical separations require predictive capabilities for binding in the gas phase. This study focuses on gas-phase binding preferences of cyclic imide dioximes to uranyl, neptunyl, plutonyl, and americyl. Structural properties, electron withdrawing effects, and their effects on binding preferences are studied with natural bond-order population analysis. The aromatic amidoximes are found to have a larger electron-donation effect than the aliphatic amidoximes. It is also found that plutonyl is more electron withdrawing than uranyl, neptunyl, and americyl when bound to the cyclic imide dioximes studied.
