Frontispiece: Exploring the Subtle Effect of Aliphatic Ring Size on Minor Actinide‐Extraction Properties and Metal Ion Speciation in Bis‐1,2,4‐Triazine Ligands
Abstract:Fine tuning the aliphatic ring size of An(III)‐selective bis‐1,2,4‐triazine ligands has subtle effects on their extraction and complexation properties. Uncovering the origins of these effects at the molecular level improves our fundamental understanding which in turn can lead to a more rational design of improved ligands. The graphic signifies the iterative nature of this cycle of ligand design. The nuclear power plant in the centre reflects the proposed future application of such ligands for selective An(III)… Show more
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.
