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

Solvent extraction process is applied for the extraction of actinides/lanthanides from waste
water produced in nuclear industry. Various extractants have been developed for this …

The synthesis, lanthanide complexation, and solvent extraction of actinide (III) and
lanthanide (III) radiotracers from nitric acid solutions by a phenanthroline-derived …

A covalent chemical bond carries the connotation of overlap of atomic orbitals between
bonded atoms, leading to a buildup of the electron density in the internuclear region …

The removal of the most long-lived radiotoxic elements from used nuclear fuel, minor
actinides, is foreseen as an essential step toward increasing the public acceptance of …

Two members of the tetradentate N-donor ligand families 6, 6′-bis (1, 2, 4-triazin-3-yl)-2,
2′-bipyridine (BTBP) and 2, 9-bis (1, 2, 4-triazin-3-yl)-1, 10-phenanthroline (BTPhen) …

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 …

The bonding in monomeric and dimeric molecular compounds of Cr, Mo, W and U is
explored using the Quantum Theory of Atoms-in-Molecules (QTAIM). The metal–ligand and …

[AnX3] 2 (μ–η2: η2-N2)(An= Th–Pu; X= F, Cl, Br, Me, H, OPh) have been studied using
relativistic density functional theory. Geometric and vibrational data suggest that metal→ N2 …

Due to its associated low CO2 emissions, nuclear energy production is rapidly growing. In
this context, the treatment of high-level liquid waste (HLLW) of nuclear plants is of high …
