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 …

In nature, the elements of the inorganic part of the periodic table are found in three forms:
metals, ions in salts & minerals, and ions in solution. The ions may be coordinated to simple …

The design and development of a water-soluble heterocyclic ligand are believed to be an
alternative way for improving the separation efficiency of actinides from lanthanides. Herein …

Phenanthroline-diamide ligands have been reported in the selective separation of actinides
over Eu (III); on the contrary, relevant basic coordination chemistry studies are still limited …

Abstract The btp [2, 6-bis (1, 2, 3-triazol-4-yl) pyridine] ligand is a terdentate ligand that,
analogously to many other terdentate ligands such as 2, 2′; 6, 2 ″-terpyridine (terpy), has …

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 …

Although phenanthroline diamide (DAPhen) ligands have recently shown vast opportunity in
group separation of actinides, the commonly used diluents in research, such as …

A facile synthesis of an americium complex with a sulfur-donor ligand has been developed,
allowing characterization of americium bonding from multiple perspectives via several …

The development of density functional theory (DFT) has significantly enhanced the use of
computational chemistry as a tool in the design and development of ligands for the …

Hydrophilic actinide masking agents are believed to be efficient alternatives to circumvent
the extensive hazardous organic solvents/diluents typically employed in the liquid–liquid …
