Abstract
To design an effective Uranium decorporation agent for chelation therapy, it is crucial to understand coordination chemistry properties of decorporation agent and the complex. In this paper, a new containing-silicon hydroxypyridinone ligand with two different configurations Si-5LIO-1-Cm-3,2-HOPO(A) and Si-5LIO-1-Cm-3,2-HOPO(B) was designed for capturing Uranium using Carbon/Silicon exchange method and the complexation mechanisms of them with uranyl were systematically investigated by DFT calculations and wave function analysis methods. It was found that the complexes’ structures were greatly changed after "Carbon/Silicon exchange", the uranyl chelation selectivity coefficients toward Si-5LIO-1-Cm-3,2-HOPO(A)/Si-5LIO-1-Cm-3,2-HOPO(B) in different solvents were all over than 99%. The chelation ability of Si-5LIO-1-Cm-3,2-HOPO(A) to uranyl was much stronger than those of Si-5LIO-1-Cm-3,2-HOPO(B) and 5LIO-1-Cm-3,2-HOPO. The complex UO2-Si-5LIO-1-Cm-3,2-HOPO(A) with NH…O = C intramolecular hydrogen bond showed higher binding energy of the ligand with uranyl than the others. The figures that π electrons transfer from pyridine to oxygen donors to chelate with U(VI) were revealed graphically and quantitatively. This study represents a lot of valuable information of actinides coordination chemistry and provide a guidance for the design of Uranium capturing agent.
