Photoreduction of {sup 99}Tc Pertechnetate by Nanometer-Sized Metal Oxides: New Strategies for Formation and Sequestration of Low-Valent Technetium (open access)

Photoreduction of {sup 99}Tc Pertechnetate by Nanometer-Sized Metal Oxides: New Strategies for Formation and Sequestration of Low-Valent Technetium

Technetium-99 ({sup 99}Tc) ({beta}{sup -}{sub max}: 293.7 keV; t{sub 1/2}: 2.1 x 10{sup 5} years) is a byproduct of uranium-235 fission and comprises a large component of radioactive waste. Under aerobic conditions and in a neutral- basic environment, the pertechnetate anion (TcO{sub 4}{sup -}) is stable. TcO{sub 4}{sup -} is very soluble, migrates easily through the environment and does not sorb well onto mineral surfaces, soils or sediments. This study moves forward a new strategy for the reduction of TcO4- and chemical incorporation of the reduced Tc into a metal oxide material. This strategy employs a single material, a polyoxometalate (POM), {alpha}{sub 2}-[P{sub 2}W{sub 17}O{sub 61}]{sup 10-}, that can be photoactivated in the presence of 2-propanol to transfer electrons to TcO{sub 4}{sup -}, and incorporate the reduced Tc covalently into the {alpha}2- framework to form the Tc{sup V}O species, Tc{sup V}O({alpha}{sub 2}-P{sub 2}W{sub 17}O{sub 61}){sup 7-}. This occurs via the formation of an intermediate species that slowly converts to Tc{sup V}O({alpha}{sub 2}-P{sub 2}W{sub 17}O{sub 61}){sup 7-}. EXAFS and XANES analysis and preliminary EPR analysis, suggests that the intermediate consists of a Tc(IV) {alpha}2- species where the Tc is likely bound to only 2 of the 4 W-O oxygen atoms in …

New molecular architectures containing low-valent cluster centres with di- and trimetalated 2-vinylpyrazine ligands: synthesis and molecular structures of Ru5(CO)15(μ5-C4H2N2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH)(μ-H)2 and Ru8(CO)24(μ7-C4H2N2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]C)(μ-H)3 (open access)

New molecular architectures containing low-valent cluster centres with di- and trimetalated 2-vinylpyrazine ligands: synthesis and molecular structures of Ru5(CO)15(μ5-C4H2N2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH)(μ-H)2 and Ru8(CO)24(μ7-C4H2N2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]C)(μ-H)3

Article details the reaction of Ru3(CO)12 with 2-vinylpyrazine, the aim of which was to synthesize clusters in which all of the donor atoms of the 2-vinylpyrazine ligand participate in bonding to the cluster core.
