Abstract
We report a complex coacervate formed by a 2.5 nm-diameter, rigid uranyl peroxide molecular cluster (Li68K12(OH)20)[UO2(O2)OH]60, U6060-) and SrCl2 salt in dilute aqueous solutions, including its location in the phase diagram, composition, rheological features, and critical conditions for phase transitions. In this coacervate, the Sr2+ cations are a major building component, and the coacervate phase covers a substantial region of the phase diagram. This coacervate demonstrates features that differ from traditional coacervates formed by oppositely charged long-chain polyelectrolytes, especially in its formation mechanism, dehydration, enhancement of mechanical strength with increasing ionic strength, and the change of salt partition preference into the coacervate and supernatant phases with ionic strength.
