Protactinium(V) in aqueous solution: a light actinide without actinyl moiety

摘要

This review highlights recent data on the complexation of Pa(V) with inorganic (fluoride and sulphate) and organic (oxalate, nitrilotriacetate, diethylenetriaminepentaacetate) ligands in solution. New thermodynamic parameters relative to the complexation of Pa(V) with sulphate are presented. The review also includes gas phase and theoretical studies focused on the interaction of Pa(V) in the dioxo and oxo forms with water.
