Liquid–liquid extraction is the major technique being applied for the partitioning of f-
elements from nuclear waste. In this review, the recent developments in ligand design …

Solid phase extraction is gaining attention from separation scientists due to its high
chromatographic utility. Though both grafted and impregnated forms of solid phase …

Pillar [5] arenes, as a new intriguing class of calixarene analogues, were functionalized with
ten diglycolamide (DGA) arms on both sides (rims) of the pillar framework and evaluated for …

Diglycolamide-functionalized calix [4] arenes (C4DGAs) with varying structural modifications
were evaluated for actinide complexation from their extraction behavior toward actinide ions …

We report a new family of preorganized bis-lactam-1, 10-phenanthroline (BLPhen)
complexants that possess both hard and soft donor atoms within a convergent cavity and …

Due to the ever‐increasing demand for high‐purity individual rare‐earth elements, novel
and highly selective separation processes are increasingly sought after. Herein, we report a …

Over recent decades there has been a great deal of interest and associated research into
aspects of the f-block (lanthanide and actinide) metal chemistry of naturally-occurring …

An N-pivot diglycolamide extractant (DGA-TREN) was synthesized for the first time and its
complexation behaviour was studied towards trivalent lanthanide/actinide ions. The solvent …

Three benzene-centered tripodal diglycolamides (Bz-T-DGAs) were synthesized and
evaluated for actinide, lanthanide, and fission product ion extraction. 1, 3, 5-Triethylbenzene …

When considering f elements, solvent extraction is primarily used for the removal of
lanthanides from ore and their recycling, as well as for the separation of actinides from used …
