摘要
We have calculated the nuclear volume term (ln K-nv) of the isotope fractionation coefficient (epsilon) between U-235-U-238 isotope pairs by considering the effect of ligand coordination in a U(IV)-U(VI) reaction system. The reactants were modeled as [UO2Cl3](-) and [UO2Cl4](2-) for U(VI), and UCl4 for U(IV). We adopted the Dirac-Coulomb Hartree-Fock method with the Gaussian-type finite nucleus model. The result obtained was ln K-nv=0.001 90 at 308 K, while the experimentally estimated value of ln K-nv is 0.002 24. We also discuss how the ligand affects the value of ln K-nv, especially for the various structures of different compounds, and different ligands within the halogen ion series (F, Cl, and Br).
