Luminescence properties of uranyl in POCl3-SnCl4 solvent

Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The spectral-luminescence properties of uranyl in aprotic binary solvent POCl3-SnCl4 were studied. The uranyl luminescence lifetime τ in the POCl3-SnCl4-235UO 2+2 system does not exceed 20 μs. There is no concentration quenching of uranyl up to [UO 2+2 ] = 0.14 M. When anhydrous UO3 is dissolved, τ increases with increasing water content of the initial solvent,. In the solutions containing uranyl perchlorate, τ decreases with increasing uranyl and SnCl4 concentrations. This effect is caused by products of ClO 4 decomposition scavenged by SnCl4.
