Evaluating Np( v ) disproportionation: effect of Np concentration
Abstract
were observed; however, spectral data indicated that these two oxidation states were not observed to coexist, and pure Np(v) was stabilized only briefly. These findings demonstrate that high Np concentrations significantly affect the redox chemistry of Np in acidic solutions. Finally, the occurrence of Np(v) disproportionation could not be definitely determined by spectral data, but other mechanisms such as self-complexation and radiolysis, which potentially compete with disproportionation, must be considered.
