Synergistic Complexes of Tributyl Phosphate and Dibutyl (Butyl) Phosphonate with Uranyl bis(β-diketonates). Synthesis,Characterisation and Molecular Structure of [UO 2 (TTA) 2 .TIBP]
Tributyl phosphate or dibutyl (butyl) phosphonate complexes of the type [UO2 (OO)2.X] (OO = TTA or DBM; X = TBP, TIBP or DBBP) have been prepared and characterised by 1H and 31P{1H} NMR, IR and elemental analyses. The structure of complex [UO2(TTA)2.TIBP] shows that the TIBP ligand coordinates through its phosphoryl oxygen atom to the uranyl ion.
