A monoamide, N,N'-dioctyl, α-hydroxy acetamide, shows unusual extraction properties towards trivalent lanthanide and actinide ions above 3 M HNO3. The extracted ions could be quantitatively back extracted using 0.5 M HNO3. This amide shows negligible extraction towards Sr(II) and Ru(III) ions, making it advantageous over other reported extractants. The structures of Sm(III) and Eu(III) nitrate compounds show that the metal ion is surrounded by three of the ligands, one nitrate and one water molecule. The ligand acts as a neutral bidentate ligand and bonds through the amido and hydroxyl oxygen atoms.
The biodistribution patterns were very similar in the normal and arthritic rats and were associated with negligible leakage (up to 24 h) from the knee joint indicating the potential of all the (90)Y-radiolabeled preparations reported here, for use in radiation synoviorthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
