The modified PUREX extraction process is designed to extract U(VI) in the form of UO₂(NO₃)₂(L)₂ as it has been confirmed by EXAFS, XRD and TRLFS measurements. In this study, the L ligands are two molecules of N,N-di-(ethyl- 2-hexyl)isobutyramide (DEHiBA) monoamide used to bind uranyl in its first coordination sphere. DEHiBA ligands can coordinate uranyl in either trans- or cis-positions with respect to the nitrate ligands and these two conformers may co-exist in solution. In order to use luminescence spectroscopy as a speciation technique, it is important to determine whether or not these conformers can be discriminated by their spectroscopic properties. To answer this question, the spectra of trans- and cis-UO₂(NO₃)₂(DEiBA)₂ conformers were modeled with ab initio methods and compared to the experimental time-resolved luminescence spectra on the UO₂(NO₃)₂(DEHiBA)₂ systems. Moreover, the hydrated uranyl binitrate UO₂(NO₃)₂(H₂O)₂ complexes in the same trans and cis configurations were modeled to quantify the impact of organic DEHiBA on the luminescence properties.Show less >
