The transuranium elements (TRU) neptunium, plutonium, americium, and curium are
produced in nuclear fuel during reactor operation from neutron capture by uranium-235/238 …

Factors in polypyridyl ligands that control their thermodynamic metal ion selectivity in
aqueous solution, and their use in selective fluorescent sensing, are examined …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

Separation of trivalent actinide (An) and lanthanide (Ln) elements is one of the burning
topics in the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle due to the similarity in their chemical …

This account summarizes recent work by us and others on the development of ligands for
the separation of actinides from lanthanides contained in nuclear waste streams in the …

abstract The rare-earth elements (REEs) remain very important due to the growing increase
in their demand and for their critical and indispensable use in many high-tech industries …

Here, we propose the use of carboxyl-functionalized ionic liquid,[Hbet][Tf2N], to separate the
fission products from spent nuclear fuels. This innovative method allows the selective …

Abstract [M (EtBTP) 3][BPh4] 3⋅ 3 CH3CN (M= Nd, Am; EtBTP= 2, 6‐bis (5, 6‐diethyl‐1, 2, 4‐
triazin‐3‐yl) pyridine) have been synthesized from reactions of MCl3⋅ n H2O with EtBTP in …

Abstract Recently reported 3, 3'‐dimethoxy‐phenyl‐bis‐1, 2, 4‐triazinyl‐2, 6‐pyridine
(DMOP‐BTP) ligand is recognized as an efficient candidate for the stripping of actinides (An) …

A library of N‐ethylanilides of 2, 2′‐bipyridine‐6, 6′‐dicarboxylic acids were synthesized
to evaluate the influence of the side chains on the extraction properties. The structure of the …
