Abstract:Hybrid
donor extractants are a promising class of compounds for
the separation of trivalent actinides and lanthanides. Here, we investigated
a series of sterically loaded diphosphonate ligands based on bipyridine
(BiPy-PO-iPr and BiPy-PO-cHex) and phenanthroline (Phen-PO-iPr and
Phen-PO-cHex). We studied their complex formation with nitrates of
trivalent f-elements in solvent extraction systems (Am and Eu) and
homogeneous acetonitrile solutions (Nd, Eu, and Lu). Phenanthroline
extractants demonstrated the high… Show more
“…The 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 complexes were found in both experiments. Previously for the phenanthroline ligands, 2 : 1 complexes were not detected in similar conditions (CH 3 CN solutions, nitrates of f-elements) 32 since these ligands are tridentate and tetradentate, respectively. However, phenanthroline 2 : 1 complexes were found with non-complexing counter-ions such as perchlorates or in the high ligand concentration range.…”

“…However, phenanthroline 2 : 1 complexes were found with non-complexing counter-ions such as perchlorates or in the high ligand concentration range. 32,64 The stability constant log β 2:1 for PO-Py-cHex was 0.5 orders of magnitude higher than for PO-Py-iPr. This result, however, did not contradict the similar Eu(III) extraction ability for these ligands.…”

“…For these ligands, SF = 8-14 in the case of extraction from 1 mol L −1 HNO 3 . [30][31][32] Phenanthroline diphosphine oxides (Fig. 1b) had a higher extraction ability than diphosphonates, but these extractants did not provide separation of the Am/Eu pair.…”

“…And then the effect of different alkyls and counter anions on the extraction and complexation properties of phosphonate ligands has been investigated. [52][53][54] Another type of phenanthroline-derived organophosphorus ligand 55,56 was designed by combining the merits of both the phenanthroline core and the O atoms of phosphine oxide which were similar to those of CMPO. 57 For instance, (1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl)bis(butyl ( phenyl)phosphine oxide) (BuPh-BPPhen) 56 was not found to selectively separate Am(III) from Eu(III) but this ligand had a great extraction ability at a high HNO 3 concentration (D Am(III) > 100, D Eu(III) > 100).…”
Phenanthroline-based tetradentate ligands with hard−soft donors have been the hotspots for the selective separation of minor actinides from lanthanides. Most of the previous studies closely focused on the impact of...
“…Up to now, many similar phosphine oxide ligands with N-heterocyclic rings have been developed. [17][18][19] The An/Ln separation ability of these new extractants is still not strong, and the extraction kinetics and radio stability properties also need to be optimized. Moreover, the complex mechanism for the An 3+ selectivity of these phosphine oxide ligands and the reason for the difference among the three different N-heterocyclic cores have still not been investigated well.…”
