In this project, we will use a combination of optical spectroscopy techniques (time-resolved fluorescence and sum-frequency generation) and computational methods (molecular dynamics, density…

Exploring the Molecular Driving Forces for f-Element Complexation and Organization in Mixed Solvents at Interfaces

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Sue Clark

Project type

Special Science

This project will examine changes in the solvation of trivalent actinide (An3+) and lanthanide (Ln3+) cations in binary solvents during complexation with an emphasis on characterizing the speciation…
