11.1 Neptunium nitrogen compounds <strong>and</strong> complexes 19511.1.4.1.d Aqueous Np(VI) nitratesThe experimental equilibrium data available in the literature for the reactionsNpO 2+2+ qNO − 3Å NpO 2 (NO 3 ) q 2−q(11.4)are collected in Table 11.6. There is no direct experimental (e.g., spectroscopic) evidencefor inner sphere Np(VI) nitrate complexation reported in the available literature.As discussed in Appendix A, the papers <strong>of</strong> Rykov <strong>and</strong> Yakovlev [66RYK/YAK], Lahr<strong>and</strong> Knoch [70LAH/KNO] <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> Vasiliev, Andeichuk <strong>and</strong> Rykov [75VAS/AND] aresubject to various shortcomings that preclude use <strong>of</strong> values from these sources.
