Abstract Molecular dynamic models are created for properties of bivalent ions in organic solvents. It is shown that molecules of the considered solvents bound to ions via oxygen atoms. A theoretical model is developed that describes the ion coordination number. The coordination number in this model is determined by the ratio between the sizes of the ion and the atom organic molecule bound to it. It is shown that the coordination number depends weakly on the solvent and strongly on the type of ion. A value of 0.13 nm is obtained for the effective size of an oxygen atom bound to a bivalent ion. The constructed theoretical model agrees with the results from molecular dynamic calculations and the available experimental data.

A study has been made of the solubility of uranyl nitrate hexahydrate and thorium nitrate tetrahydrate in various organic solvents at 20 °C. In all the solvents investigated no case was found where the thorium nitrate tetrahydrate was more soluble than the uranyl nitrate hexahydrate. Hydrocarbons do not dissolve either compound to an appreciable extent. Addition of a ketone, aldehyde, or alcohol group enhances the solubility considerably. The simpler the compound the greater the solubility of the nitrate in any given family.

The values reported by Yaffe for the solubilities of thorium nitrate tetrahydrate and uranyl nitrate hexahydrate in various organic solvents are compared with those previously reported by Templeton and Hall, the former being much lower than the latter. Some of the accessory experiments of Templeton and Hall are here presented in support of the position that their values more closely correspond to equilibrium than those of Yaffe.

Dicaesium hexanitratothorate(IV), Cs2[Th(NO3)6], was synthesized in the form of colourless crystals by reaction of thorium nitrate and caesium nitrate in aqueous solution. The Th atom is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by six chelating nitrate anions. The resulting ThO12coordination polyhedron is best described as a slightly distorted icosahedron. The Cs atom also has a coordination number of 12, but its coordination polyhedron is considerably more distorted. The crystal packing can be derived from an hexagonal dense packing (hcp) of idealized spherical CsO12and ThO12units. The CsO12units form a distorted hcp arrangement and half of the octahedral sites are occupied by the ThO12units.
