Abstract
A time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) study was carried out to investigate the Eu(III)-SO4 complexation at room temperature over a wide range of Na2SO4 concentrations (0-2 mol kg-1). Spectroscopic observations confirm the step-wise formation of the aqueous complexes Eu(SO4)+, Eu(SO4)2- and Eu(SO4)33- over the investigated Na2SO4 concentrations. Combining TRLFS data obtained in this study and solubility data reported in Part I of this work for the Eu2(SO4)3-Na2SO4-H2O and Eu2(SO4)3-MgSO4-H2O systems, thermodynamic and activity models were derived based on the SIT and Pitzer formalisms. A combination of the geochemical calculation codes PhreeqC (SIT), PhreeSCALE (Pitzer) and the parameter estimation code PEST was used to determine the solubility products of Eu2(SO4)3·8H2O(cr) and Na2Eu2(SO4)4·2H2O(cr), stability constants of the Eu(III)-SO4 complexes (β0i), and the specific binary and ternary interaction parameters (εij, β(0)ij, β(1)ij, Cϕij, θik, Ψijk) for both activity models. The thermodynamic constants determined in this work are discussed with reference to values available in the literature.

Abstract
The complexation of uranyl hydroxides with orthosilicic acid was investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. Spectroluminescence titration was performed in a glovebox under argon atmosphere at pH 9.2, 10.5 and 11.5, with [U(VI)] = 10-6 and 5 × 10-6 mol kgw-1. The polymerization effects of silicic acid were minimized by ruling out samples with less than 90 % monomeric silicic acid present, identified via UV-Vis spectrometry using the molybdate blue method. Linear regression analysis based on time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) results yielded the conditional stepwise formation constants of U(VI)-OH-Si(OH)4 complexes at 0.05 mol kgw-1 NaNO3. The main spectroscopic features - characteristic peak positions and decay-time - are reported for the first time for the UO2(OH)2SiO(OH)3- species observed at pH 9.2 and 10.5 and UO2(OH)2SiO2(OH)22- predominant at pH 11.5. Quantum chemical calculations successfully computed the theoretical luminescence spectrum of the complex UO2(OH)2SiO(OH)3- species, thus underpinning the proposed chemical model for weakly alkaline systems. The conditional stability constants were extrapolated to infinite dilution using the Davies equation, resulting in log10β°(UO2(OH)2SiO(OH)3-) and log10β°(UO2(OH)2SiO2(OH)22-). Implications for U(VI) speciation in the presence and absence of competing carbonate are discussed for silicate-rich environments expected in certain repository concepts for nuclear waste disposal.

Abstract
The complexation of Np(V) with malonate and succinate is studied by different spectroscopic techniques, namely, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, as well as by quantum chemistry to determine the speciation, thermodynamic data, and structural information of the formed complexes. For complex stoichiometries and the thermodynamic functions (log βn°(Θ), ΔrHn°, ΔrSn°), near infrared absorption spectroscopy (vis/NIR) is applied. The complexation reactions are investigated as a function of the total concentration of malonate ([Mal2-]total) and succinate ([Succ2-]total), ionic strength [Im = 0.5-4.0 mol kg-1 Na+(Cl-/ClO4-)], and temperature (Θ = 20-85 °C). Besides the solvated NpO2+ ion, the formation of two Np(V) species with the stoichiometry NpO2(L)n1-2n (n = 1, 2, L = Mal2-, Succ2-) is observed. With increasing temperature, the molar fractions of both complex species increase and the temperature-dependent conditional stability constants log βn'(Θ) at given ionic strengths are determined by the law of mass action. The log βn'(Θ) are extrapolated to IUPAC reference-state conditions (Im = 0) according to the specific ion interaction theory (SIT), revealing thermodynamic log βn°(Θ) values. For all formed complexes, [NpO2(Mal)-: log β1°(25 °C) = 3.36 ± 0.11, NpO2(Mal)23-: log β2°(25 °C) = 3.95 ± 0.19, NpO2(Succ)-: log β1°(25 °C) = 2.05 ± 0.45, NpO2(Succ)23-: log β2°(25 °C) = 0.75 ± 1.22], an increase of the stability constants with increasing temperature was observed. This confirmed an endothermic complexation reaction. The temperature dependence of the log βn°(T) values is described by the integrated Van't Hoff equation, and the standard reaction enthalpies and entropies for the complexation reactions are determined. Furthermore, the sum of the specific binary ion-ion interaction coefficients Δεn°(Θ) for the complexation reactions are obtained as a function of the t from the respective SIT modeling as a function of the temperature. In addition to the thermodynamic data, the structures of the complexes and the coordination modes of malonate and succinate are investigated using EXAFS spectroscopy, ATR-FT-IR spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. The results show that in the case of malonate, six-membered chelate complexes are formed, whereas for succinate, seven-membered rings form. The latter ones are energetically unfavorable due to the limited space in the equatorial plane of the Np(V) ion (as NpO2+ cation).

Abstract
In the present work the complexation of Np(V) with sulfate in aqueous solution is studied in a temperature range up to 200 °C by absorption spectroscopy. For this purpose, a new spectroscopic setup is implemented and tested for its suitability for Vis/NIR absorption spectroscopy at elevated temperatures. The complexation of Np(V) with sulfate is studied as a function of the total ligand concentration at various temperatures (T = 25-200 °C) and ionic strengths (Im(NaClO4) = 1.0-4.0 mol kg-1 NaClO4). The exclusive formation of NpO2(SO4)- up to 200 °C is confirmed by peak deconvolution and slope analyses. The thermodynamic stability constants log β01(T) are obtained from linear regressions according to the specific ion interaction theory (SIT). A systematic increase of the log β01(T) is observed with increasing temperature, resulting in a linear correlation of log β01(T) with T-1. The magnitude of the increase is 1.9 logarithmic units at 200 °C in comparison to log β01(25 °C) = 1.05 ± 0.16. Thus, the standard reaction enthalpy and entropy (ΔrH0m, ΔrS0m) are determined with the integrated Van't Hoff equation revealing ΔrH0m = 31.0 ± 1.0 kJ mol-1 and ΔrS0m = 123 ± 9 J mol-1 K-1. In addition, the stoichiometric sum of the specific binary ion-ion interaction coefficient (Δε01(T)) is determined up to 200 °C showing an insignificant temperature dependence. Thus, a temperature-independent ε(Na+, NpO2(SO4)-) = 0.07 ± 0.11 is calculated for the temperature range up to 200 °C. Comparison of the present results with literature data confirms the excellent applicability of the new high-temperature absorption spectroscopic setup for complexation studies up to 200 °C.

Abstract
The speciation, thermodynamics and structure of the Np(v) (as the NpO2+ cation) complexes with oxalate (Ox2-) are studied by different spectroscopic techniques. Near infrared absorption spectroscopy (Vis/NIR) is used to investigate complexation reactions as a function of the total ligand concentration ([Ox2-]total), ionic strength (Im = 0.5-4.0 mol kg-1 Na+(Cl-/ClO4-)) and temperature (T = 20-85 °C) for determination of the complex stoichiometry and thermodynamic functions (log β0n(T), ΔrH0n, ΔrS0n). Besides the solvated NpO2+ ion, two NpO2+ oxalate species (NpO2(Ox)n1-2n; n = 1, 2) are identified. With increasing temperature a decrease of the molar fractions of the 1 : 1 - and 1 : 2 - complexes is observed. Application of the law of mass action yields the temperature dependent conditional stability constants log β'n(T) at a given ionic strength which are extrapolated to IUPAC reference state conditions (Im = 0) according to the specific ion interaction theory (SIT). The log β0n(T) values of both complex species (log β01(25 °C) = 4.53 ± 0.12; log β02(25 °C) = 6.22 ± 0.24) decrease with increasing temperature confirming an exothermic complexation reaction. The temperature dependence of the thermodynamic stability constants is described by the integrated van't Hoff equation yielding the standard reaction enthalpies (ΔrH01 = -1.3 ± 0.7 kJ mol-1; ΔrH02 = -8.7 ± 1.4 kJ mol-1) and entropies (ΔrS01 = 82 ± 2 J mol-1 K-1; ΔrS02 = 90 ± 5 J mol-1 K-1) for the complexation reactions. In addition, the sum of the specific binary ion-ion interaction coefficients Δε0n(T) for the complexation reactions are obtained from SIT modelling as a function of the temperature. The structure of the complexes and the coordination mode of oxalate are investigated using EXAFS spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The results show, that in case of both species NpO2(Ox)- and NpO2(Ox)23-, chelate complexes with 5-membered rings are formed.

Abstract
The temperature and ionic strength dependences of the complex formation of NpO2+ with formate in aqueous solution are studied by absorption spectroscopy (Im = 0.5-4.0 mol kg-1, T = 20-85 °C, [Form-]total = 0-0.65 mol kg-1), extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and quantum chemical methods. The complex stoichiometry and the thermodynamic functions of the complexation reactions are determined by peak deconvolution of the absorption spectra and slope analyses. Besides the solvated NpO2+ ion, two NpO2+ formate species (NpO2(Form)n1-n; n = 1, 2) are identified. Application of the law of mass action yields the temperature dependent conditional stability constants log β'n(T) at a given ionic strength. These data are extrapolated to IUPAC reference state conditions (Im = 0) using the specific ion interaction theory (SIT). The results show, that log β01(20 °C) = 0.67 ± 0.04 decreases by approximately 0.1 logarithmic units with increasing temperature, log β02(20 °C) = 0.11 ± 0.11 increases by about 0.2 logarithmic units. The temperature dependence of the log β0n(T) values is modeled with the integrated Van't Hoff equation yielding the standard reaction enthalpy ΔrH0 and entropy ΔrS0 of the complexation reactions. The results show that the formation of NpO2(Form) is exothermic (ΔrH01 = -2.8 ± 0.9 kJ mol-1) whereas the formation of NpO2(Form)2- is endothermic (ΔrH02 = 6.7 ± 4.1 kJ mol-1). Furthermore, the binary ion-ion interaction coefficients εT(i,k) of the formed complexes are determined in NaClO4 and NaCl media as a function of the temperature. The coordination mode of formate toward the metal ion is investigated by EXAFS spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. A coordination of the ligand via only one O atom of formate to the metal ion is identified.

Abstract
A comprehensive molecular analysis of a simple aqueous complexing system-U(VI) acetate-selected to be independently investigated by various spectroscopic (vibrational, luminescence, X-ray absorption, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and quantum chemical methods was achieved by an international round-robin test (RRT). Twenty laboratories from six different countries with a focus on actinide or geochemical research participated and contributed to this scientific endeavor. The outcomes of this RRT were considered on two levels of complexity: first, within each technical discipline, conformities as well as discrepancies of the results and their sources were evaluated. The raw data from the different experimental approaches were found to be generally consistent. In particular, for complex setups such as accelerator-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the agreement between the raw data was high. By contrast, luminescence spectroscopic data turned out to be strongly related to the chosen acquisition parameters. Second, the potentials and limitations of coupling various spectroscopic and theoretical approaches for the comprehensive study of actinide molecular complexes were assessed. Previous spectroscopic data from the literature were revised and the benchmark data on the U(VI) acetate system provided an unambiguous molecular interpretation based on the correlation of spectroscopic and theoretical results. The multimethodologic approach and the conclusions drawn address not only important aspects of actinide spectroscopy but particularly general aspects of modern molecular analytical chemistry.

Abstract
We report a combined computational and experimental study to investigate the UV/vis spectra of 2,6-bis(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)pyridine (BTP) ligands in solution. In order to study molecules in solution using theoretical methods, force-field parameters for the ligand-water interaction are adjusted to ab initio quantum chemical calculations. Based on these parameters, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are carried out from which snapshots are extracted as input to quantum chemical excitation-energy calculations to obtain UV/vis spectra of BTP ligands in solution using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) employing the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA). The range-separated CAM-B3LYP functional is used to avoid large errors for charge-transfer states occurring in the electronic spectra. In order to study environment effects with theoretical methods, the frozen-density embedding scheme is applied. This computational procedure allows to obtain electronic spectra calculated at the (range-separated) DFT level of theory in solution, revealing solvatochromic shifts upon solvation of up to about 0.6 eV. Comparison to experimental data shows a significantly improved agreement compared to vacuum calculations and enables the analysis of relevant excitations for the line shape in solution.

Abstract
The pH dependence (1-7) of Am(III) complexation with lactate in aqueous solution is studied using extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. Structural data (coordination numbers, Am--O and Am--C distances) of the formed Am(III)-lactate species are determined from the raw k(3)-weighted Am LIII-edge EXAFS spectra. Between pH 1 and pH 6, Am(III) speciation shifts continuously towards complexed species with increasing pH. At higher pH, the amount of complexed species decreases due to formation of hydroxo species. The coordination numbers and distances (3.41-3.43 Å) of the coordinating carbon atoms clearly point out that lactate is bound `side-on' to Am(III) through both the carboxylic and the α-hydroxy function of lactate. The experimentally determined coordination numbers are compared with speciation calculations on the basis of tabulated thermodynamic stability constants. Both EXAFS data and thermodynamic modelling are in very good agreement. The EXAFS spectra are also analyzed by iterative transformation factor analysis to further verify the determined Am(III) speciation and the used structural model.

Abstract
The complexation of acetate with Am(III) is studied as a function of the pH (1-6) by extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The molecular structure of the Am(III)-acetate complexes (coordination numbers, oxygen and carbon distances) is determined from the raw k(3)-weighted Am LIII-edge EXAFS spectra. The results show a continuous shift of Am(III) speciation with increasing pH value towards the complexed species. Furthermore, it is verified that acetate coordinates in a bidentate coordination mode to Am(III) (Am-C distance: 2.82 ± 0.03 Å). The EXAFS data are analyzed by iterative transformation factor analysis to further verify the chemical speciation, which is calculated on the basis of thermodynamic constants, and the used structural model. The experimental results are in very good agreement with the thermodynamic modelling.

Abstract
The complexation of Cm(III) with acetate is studied by time resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) as a function of ionic strength, ligand concentration, temperature and background electrolyte (NaClO4, NaCl and CaCl2 solution). The speciation of Cm(III) is determined by peak deconvolution of the emission spectra. To obtain the thermodynamic stability constants (log K) for the formation of [Cm(Ac)n](3-n) (n = 1-3), the experimental data are extrapolated to zero ionic strength according to the specific ion interaction theory (SIT). The results show a continuous increase of the stability constants with increasing temperature (20-90 °C). The standard reaction enthalpies and entropies (ΔrH, ΔrS) of the respective reactions are derived from the integrated Van't Hoff equation. The results show that all complexation steps are endothermic and thus entropy driven (ΔrH and ΔrS > 0).
