The enrichment of uranium, often for nuclear weapons programs and commercial nuclear reactors, produces higher concentrations of radioactive uranium 235 (235U) than what naturally occurs, which can pose a human health hazard. The most abundant naturally occurring uranium isotope is 238U, which is still radioactive, however a higher concentration of 235U skews the observed isotopic uranium distribution. The Department of Energy Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, located near Piketon, OH, enriched uranium from 1954 to 2001 and 235U pollution has recently been detected in air and sediment samples in the surrounding community. The extent of the …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Organotin carboxylates of general formula R_3SnL (1), (2), (4) and (6), R_2SnL_2 (5) and {[(R_2SnL)_2O]_2} (3), where L = N-maleoylglycinate, N-maleoyl-\beta-alaninate and N-maleoylmethioninate, were prepared. The synthesis of these compounds was achieved by either reaction of organotin halides, R_3SnCl, with triethylammonium salt of N-maleoylamino acids or/and organotin oxides, (R_3Sn)_2O and R_2SnO, with maleamic acid in the presence of triethyl amine. These compounds were characterized by FT-IR, multinuclear NMR (^1H, ^{13}C and ^{119}Sn), mass and ^{119m}Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. The geometry around the tin atom is compared both in solution and in solid state. Different literature methods were employed to calculate the …
