Insights into the Mechanism of Neptunium Oxidation to the Heptavalent State

Abstract Neptunium can exist in multiple oxidation states, including the rare and poorly understood heptavalent form. In this work, we monitored the formation of heptavalent neptunium [Np(VII)O 4 (OH) 2 ] 3− during ozonolysis of aqueous M OH ( M =Li, Na, K) solutions using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. All experimental reactions were closely monitored via absorption and vibrational spectroscopy to follow both the oxidation state and the speciation of neptunium guided by the calculated vibrational frequencies for various neptunium species. The mechanism of the reaction partly involves oxidative dissolution of transient Np(VI) oxide/hydroxide solid phases, the identity of which are dependent on the co‐precipitating counter‐cation Li + /Na + /K + . Additional calculations suggest that the most favorable energetic pathway occurs through the reaction of a [Np(V)O 2 (OH) 4 ] 3− with the hydroxide radical to form [Np(VI)O 2 (OH) 4 ] 2− , followed by an additional oxidation with HO⋅ to create [Np(VII)O 4 (OH) 2 ] 3− .

Structure of 3'-PO 4 /5'-OH RNA ligase RtcB in complex with a 5'-OH oligonucleotide

RtcB enzymes comprise a widely distributed family of manganese- and GTP-dependent RNA repair enzymes that join 2',3'-cyclic phosphate ends to 5'-OH ends via RtcB-(histidinyl-N)–GMP, RNA 3'-phosphate, and RNA 3 'pp 5 'G intermediates. RtcB can ligate either 5'-OH RNA or 5'-OH DNA strands in vitro. The nucleic acid contacts of RtcB are uncharted. In this work, we report a 2.7 Å crystal structure of Pyrococcus horikoshii RtcB in complex with a 6-mer 5'-OH DNA oligonucleotide HO A 1 pT 2 pG 3 pT 4 pC 5 pC 6 , which reveals enzymic contacts of Asn202 to the terminal 5'-OH nucleophile; Arg238 to the A1pT2 and T2pG3 phosphates; Arg190 and Gln194 to the T 2 pG 3 phosphate; and an Arg190 π-cation interaction with the G 3 nucleobase. The structural insights affirm functional studies of E. coli RtcB that implicated the conserved counterpart of Arg238 in engagement of the 5'-OH strand for ligation. The essential active site Cys98 that coordinates two manganese ions is oxidized to cysteine sulfonic acid in our structure, raising the prospect that RtcB activity might be sensitive to modulation during oxidative stress.

Global and Regional Decreases in Tropospheric Oxidants from Photochemical Effects of Aerosols

We evaluate the sensitivity of tropospheric OH, O3, and O3 precursors to photochemical effects of aerosols not usually included in global models: (1) aerosol scattering and absorption of ultraviolet radiation and (2) reactive uptake of HO', NO2, and NO3. Our approach is to couple a global 3-D model of tropospheric chemistry (GEOS- CHEM) with aerosol fields from a global 3-D aerosol model (GOCART). Reactive uptake by aerosols is computed using reaction probabilities from a recent review (gamma(sub HO2) = 0.2, gamma(sub NO2) = 10(exp -4), gamma(sub NO3) = l0(exp -3). Aerosols decrease the O3 - O((sup 1)D) photolysis frequency by 5-20% at the surface throughout the Northern Hemisphere (largely due to mineral dust) and by a factor of 2 in biomass burning regions (largely due to black carbon). Aerosol uptake of HO2 accounts for 10-40% of total HOx radical ((triple bonds)OH + peroxy) loss in the boundary layer over polluted continental regions (largely due to sulfate and organic carbon) and for more than 70% over tropical biomass burning regions (largely due to organic carbon). Uptake of NO2 and NO3 accounts for 10-20% of total HNO3 production over biomass burning regions and less elsewhere. Annual mean OH concentrations decrease by 9% globally and by 5-35% in the boundary layer over the Northern Hemisphere. Simulated CO increases by 5- 15 ppbv in the remote Northern Hemisphere, improving agreement with observations. Simulated boundary layer O3 decreases by 15- 45 ppbv over India during the biomass burning season in March and by 5-9 ppbv over northern Europe in August, again improving comparison with observations. We find that particulate matter controls would increase surface O3 over Europe and other industrial regions.

Isoelectronic perturbations to f - d -electron hybridization and the enhancement of hidden order in URu 2 Si 2

Significance Phase transitions often manifest themselves in characteristic signatures in the electrical resistivity. Here, we track the temperature increase of the resistive signature of the hidden-order (HO) phase transition in URu 2 Si 2 , a mysterious phase with unknown order parameter. The application of pressure and the isoelectronic substitutions of Fe and Os ions for Ru are the only known perturbations to favor the HO phase. These perturbations are likely to cause increases in f - d -electron hybridization that lead to degeneracy and instabilities in the electronic band structure. The degeneracy is lifted by partial gapping of electronic states over the Fermi surface during the transition to HO. This and related investigations point to the importance of isoelectronic perturbations in generating emergent electronic phases.
