Polarographic study of uranium(VI)-succinate complexes

The polarographic behavior of uranium(VI)-succinate complexes was studied in 0.5M NaClO4 medium at 30°C at a dropping mercury electrode. It was found that only the doubly charged succinate ion formed the complexes stable enough to be detected. The experimental evidence for this is discussed. The stability constant of uranium(V) (succinate)2 complex was evaluated.
