The new ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) based on salphenH2 derivatives such as N,N'-(propylenedioxy)benzenebis(salicylideneimine) L1 and N,N'-4,5-(propylenedioxy)benzenebis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylideneimine) L2 as cation carriers are developed for a uranyl ion. The combination of these new ionophores with tris(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate (TEHP) as a plasticizer particularly shows near Nernstian slope in the wide concentration range (1.0 x 10(-6) to 1.0 x 10(-2) M) of UO2(2+) and is observed well in the pH range from 1.0 to 5.0 with a response time less than 20s. Since the employed ionophores were confirmed to form well-defined stable 1:1 complexes with UO2(2+), the observed high selectivity for a uranyl ion over the other cations was attributed to the selective complexation as well as the lipophilic behavior of these ligands especially for L2. The proposed electrodes offered practically low detection limit of 6.5 x 10(-7) M and reasonably good end-points within experimental error were obtained when the sensor was used as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration.

Extracting uranium from nuclear wastewater is vital for environmental and human health protection. However, despite progress in uranium extraction, there remains a demand for an optimized adsorbent with improved capability, efficiency, and selectivity. To bridge this gap, 1,2,3,4-butane tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA)-modified MIL-101 was synthesized through a simple hydrothermal reaction between amino-modified MIL-101 (MIL-101-NH) and BTCA.

Understanding the chemistry of the inert actinide oxo bond in actinyl ions AnO22+ is important for controlling actinide behavior in the environment, during separations, and in nuclear waste (An = U, Np, Pu). The thioether calixarene TC4A (4-tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene) binds equatorially to [AnO2]n+ (An = U, Np) forming a conical pocket that differentiates the two trans-oxo groups. The 'ate' complexes, [A]2[UO2(TC4A)] (A = [Li(DME)2], HNEt3) and [HNEt3]2[NpO2(TC4A)], enable selective oxo chemistry.

In this work, we reexamine the Dailey-Townes model by systematically investigating the electric field gradient (EFG) in various chlorine compounds, dihalogens, and the uranyl ion (). Through the use of relativistic molecular calculations and projection analysis, we decompose the EFG expectation value in terms of atomic reference orbitals. We show how the Dailey-Townes model can be seen as an approximation to our projection analysis.

Uranium poisoning, particularly from exposure to Depleted Uranium (DU), occurs when uranyl ions enter the bloodstream and bind primarily to transferrin, osteopontin, and albumin before entering cells via corresponding receptors on renal tubular membranes, leading to cellular damage. Uranium poisoning remains a significant clinical challenge, with no ideal treatment currently available. In this study, we investigate the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (MSC-EXs) in mice exposed to DU.

Tailored design of organic linkers or metal nodes can introduce desirable functionalities into metal-organic cages (MOCs), significantly expanding their potential applications. In this study, we present a viable approach for engineering acyl-type metal nodes to create interior oxygen-rich sites within MOCs, enabling specific recognition of metal ions, including radioactive contaminants, while maintaining the structural integrity of the MOCs. A novel MOC featuring a uranyl-sealed calix[4]resorcinarene (C[4]R)-based multisite cavity, referred to as UOC, is synthesized as a prototype.
