Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure and Density Functional Theory Studies on the Complexation Mechanism of Amidoximate Ligand to Uranyl Carbonate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To shed some light on the uranium extraction mechanism of amidoximate (AO) ligands from uranyl carbonate solution, we present experimental data taken using extended X-ray absorption fine structure at the U L 3 edge and theoretical calculation results. The EXAFS data were well simulated and confessedly shows that AO ligands directly substitute the CO 3 2– group in the equatorial plane to form a stable [UO 2 (CO 3 ) 3- x (AO) x ] (4- x )– complex. Density functional theory calculation indicates that although they have a slightly weaker electrostatic attraction than CO 3 2– ligands, AO ligands display stronger binding capability to uranyl because of the remarkable orbital hybridization between U 5f/6d and (N,O)2p in the uranyl–AO complex. This finding provides strong evidence supporting the substitutional mechanism, which implies that cationic adsorbents are preferred in the further design of higher efficient adsorbents, and furthermore highlights the crucial role of the covalent effect in the extraction process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
