Vs. Koltunov et al., REACTION-KINETICS OF NP AND PU IONS WITH HYDROXYLAMINE DERIVATIVES .4. REACTION BETWEEN PU(IV) AND N,N-DIMETHYLHYDROXYLAMINE, Radiochemistry, 35(4), 1993, pp. 422-428
The reaction between Pu(IV) and N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine in HNO3 solu
tion passes through the reversible Step (CH3)2NHOH+ + Pu4+ reversible
(CH3)2NO + Pu3+ + 2H+, the irreversible step (CH3)2NO + Pu4+ --> CH3N(
O)CH2 + Pu3+ + H+, and subsequent fast hydrolysis of the nitrone. The
kinetic expressions of the slow reaction steps are found. The rate con
stants are determined.
