Crossroads and Terminations in Transuranium Chemistry
No full textThe focus of this dissertation is published results from my doctoral research at Auburn University, the scope of which is multifaceted. The first topic covers recent research devoted to developing a better understanding of the structural diversity and related physical properties of early actinide compounds containing either selenite or iodate. These studies are primarily driven by the presence of 79Se (t1/2 = 1.1 x 106) and 129I (t1/2 = 1.7 x 107), both of which are long-lived ? - emitting isotopes produced through the fission of 235U, in spent nuclear fuels. From the redox chemistry of selenium one would predict that it will exist as either the selenate (SeO42-) or the selenite (SeO32-)
vi
anion, while iodine is expected to be present as either the iodide anion, I-, or the iodate oxoanion (IO3-). The subject of my second research focus, phosphonates have been of
special interest with regards to f – element chemistry as a result of their use in separations. Structural studies of these systems with transuranium elements have been limited due to the difficulties faced when working with these radioactive metals and their insolubility and tendency to form powders or microcrystalline precipitates. Topics include the structure-property relationships for the following published compounds or, in the case chapter 6, compound submitted for publication: Na2[UO2(IO3)4(H2O)] (Ch. 2: Bray, T. H.; et al., Inorg. Chem., 2006, 45, 8251-8257.), An(IO3)4 (An = Np, Pu) and Np(IO3)4·nH2O (Ch. 3: Bray, T. H.; et al., Inorg. Chem., 2007, 46, 3663-3668.), Pu(SeO3)2 (Ch. 4: Bray, T. H.; et al., J. Solid State Chem., 2008, 181, 493-498.), NpFPO4 and Cs2Np2F7PO4 (Ch. 5: Bray, T. H.; et al., J. Solid State Chem., 2007, 180, 70-74.), [C6H14N2][(UO2)4(HPO4)2PO4)2(H2O)]·H2O (Ch. 6: Bray, T. H.; et al., ?Synthesis and Structure of [C6H14N2][(UO2)4(HPO4)2(PO4)2(H2O)]·H2O: An Expanded Open-Framework Amine-Bearing Uranyl Phosphate,? In press: Journal of Solid State Chemistry April 24, 2008.), and Np(CH3PO3)(CH3PO3H)(NO3)(H2O)·H2O (Ch. 7: Bray, T. H.; et al., Inorg. Chem., 2007, 46, 10959-10961.

Octavofest Guest Speaker Travis McDade
No full textThis Program is in partnership with Octavofest: Celebrating the Book and Paper Arts.
Program: Professor McDade will begin this program with a general discussion of his research, books, and his latest project, with a primary focus on how thefts of valuable rare books have been handled by the law. This discussion will utilize the 2007, 6th Circuit case of the United States vs. Charles Thomas Allen, II, et al. , utilizing the prosecution of Allen and his colleagues for the theft of valuable rare books from the special collections library at Transylvania University (Lexington, KY) as an example of how the law handles the theft of cultural heritage objects. Law, library and information science, anthropology, museum studies, and art students will find this program of interest, as well as professionals in these fields, and other individuals who value the preservation of our cultural heritage.
Travis McDade is the Curator of Law Rare Books and Associate Professor of Library Service and the University of Illinois College of Law. Professor McDade, a lawyer and a librarian, is the country’s foremost expert on crimes against rare books, maps, documents, and other printed cultural heritage resources. He is the author of three books on the subject: The Book Thief: The True Crimes of Daniel Spiegelman; Thieves of Book Row: New York’s Most Notorious Rare Book Ring and the Man Who Ended it; and Disappearing Ink: The Insider, the FBI, and the Looting of the Kenyon College Library.
Refreshments will be served.
