We report a comparative single-reference and multireference coupled-cluster investigation on the structure, potential energy surface, and IR spectroscopic properties of the trans peroxo nitrate radical, one of the key intermediates in stratospheric NOX chemistry. The previous single-reference ab initio studies predicted an unbound structure for the trans peroxo nitrate radical. However, our Fock space multireference coupled-cluster calculation confirms a bound structure for the trans peroxo nitrate radical, in accordance with the experimental results reported earlier. Further, the analysis of the potential energy surface in FSMRCC method indicates a well-behaved minima, contrary to the shallow minima predicted by the single-reference coupled-cluster method. The harmonic force field analysis, of various possible isomers of peroxo nitrate also reveals that only the trans structure leads to the experimentally observed IR peak at 1840 cm(-1). The present study highlights the critical importance of nondynamic correlation in predicting the structure and properties of high-energy stratospheric NOx radicals.

The reactivity of the new flexible potentially pentadentate aminophenol ligand HL (2,2'-((pyridine-2,6-diylbis(methylene))bis(azanediyl))diphenol) towards different dysprosium salts and holmium(III) nitrate was investigated. Accordingly, this reactivity seems to greatly depend on the metal ion and salt employed. In this way, the reaction of HL with dysprosium(III) chloride in air leads to the oxo-bridged tetranuclear complex [Dy(HL)(Cl)(μ-O)(EtOH)(HO)]·2EtOH·HO (·2EtOH·HO), while the same reaction just changing the chloride salt by the nitrate one renders the peroxo-bridged pentanuclear compound [Dy(HL)(HL)(NO)(µ-O)]·2HO (·2HO), where both peroxo ligands seem to come from the fixation and reduction of atmospheric oxygen.

Here, we report the nitric oxide dioxygenation (NOD) reactions of two Mn-peroxo (M-O) complexes, [(3PYENMe)Mn(O)] (1) and [(N3PY)Mn(O)] (2), bearing pentadentate ligands. Complexes 1 and 2 give Mn-nitrate (Mn-NO) complexes (3 and 4) when reacted with nitric oxide (NO), respectively. The mechanistic study explored by using 2,4-di--butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) suggested that the NOD reaction of 1 and 2 occurs a presumed Mn-peroxynitrite ([Mn-PN], [Mn-ONOO]) intermediate.

The uranium and plutonium co-conversion process constitutes a continuous subject of interest for MOx fuel fabrication. Among the various routes considered, chemical coprecipitation by the salt effect has been widely investigated regarding its simplicity of integration between the partitioning and purification steps of the PUREX process, and the straightforward recovery of precursors that are easily converted into oxide phases by thermal decomposition. The present study focuses on the coprecipitation behavior of U-Th and U-Pu actinide peroxide mixed systems by examining the precipitation yields and settling properties for nitric acidity in the range of 1 to 3 M and hydrogen peroxide concentration in the range of 4.

Article Synopsis
- HO is thermally unstable, making it challenging to synthesize peroxides at high temperatures.
- The researchers developed a method to generate a new uranyl peroxo complex (HT-UPO1) through hydrothermal treatment of uranyl nitrate at 150 °C using specific organic ligands.
- A key component of this process is a conjugated aromatic carboxylate that helps reduce oxygen and stabilize the resulting complex, enhancing our understanding of uranyl peroxide chemistry.
Surface catalyzed reactions can be a convenient way to deactivate toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and remove them from the contaminated environment. In this study, pure titanium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, and their composites TiO/Mg(OH) were prepared by thermal decomposition and precipitation of the titanium peroxo-complex and/or magnesium nitrate in an aqueous solution. The as-prepared composites were examined by XRD, XPS, HRTEM, and nitrogen physisorption.
