CX-270061: Building Quantitative Relationships between Ligand Structures and its Reactivity with Organic Radical Species - California State University at Long Beach

California State University at Long Beach, in collaboration with Idaho National Laboratory (INL), proposes to establish global structure-activity correlations between the reaction kinetics for organic-phase radicals and the physiochemical properties of extraction ligands determined by their structural features. The proposed kinetic studies will be performed using experimental methodologies previously developed, such as electron pulse radiolysis based techniques that have been used to directly determine NO3 and radical cation reactivity in organic media, or by established literature methods, such as iodine scavenging techniques to determine identities and yields of peroxyl radical species.
