Solvent extraction of microamounts of Eu3+ and Am3+ from water into nitrobenzene by means of a mixture of hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate (H+B-) and N,N,N',N'-tetrabutyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxamide (L) was studied. The equilibrium data were explained assuming that the species HL+, H2L2+, HL+2, ML3+2, and ML3+3 (M3+ = Eu3+, Am3+; L = N,N,N',N'-tetrabutyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxamide) are extracted into the nitrobenzene phase. Extraction and stability constants of the cationic complex species in nitrobenzene saturated with water were determined and discussed. From the experimental results it is evident that this effective N,N,N',N'-tetrabutyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxamide receptor for the Eu3+ and Am3+ cations could be considered as a potential extraction agent for nuclear waste treatment.

We report the synthesis and characterization (Raman, FTIR, DLS, single crystal XRD) of CsHSbWO·6HO, which contains a new polyoxometalate building block: HSbWO (SbW). Solution-state fluorescence, DLS, and UV-vis absorbance results with Nd, Eu, Am, and Cm confirm that SbW acts as an efficient complexant and fluorescence sensitizer for f-elements.

Mutual separation of -plutonium actinides (Ans) from lanthanides (Lns) or adjacent Ans is challenging as they exhibit great chemical similarity. Selective Am oxidation-based Am-Lns or Am-Cm separation strategies give very high separation factors. There exist several reports on different aspects of Am oxidation by NaBiO·HO ( = 2-3), which suggests that the oxidation mechanism is still not well understood.

Two new extraction chromatographic resins (ECRs) were prepared by impregnating two exotic diglycolamide (DGA) ligands (having three or four DGA moieties tethered to aza-crown ether scaffolds) dissolved in an ionic liquid onto an inert solid support. A room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) was used for enhancing the performance of the ECRs. The ECR containing triaza-9-crown-3 functionalized with three DGA moieties (TAM-3-DGA), and tetraaza-12-crown-4 tethered with four DGA arms (TAM-4-DGA) were evaluated for the separation of Am and Pufrom nitric acid solutions.

To tune the complexation and solvent extraction performance of the ligands with a 1,10-phenanthroline core for trivalent actinides (An) and lanthanides (Ln), we synthesized two new asymmetric tetradentate ligands with pyrazole and amide groups, , L1 (,-diethyl-9-(5-ethyl-1-pyrazol-3-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline-2-carboxamide) and its analogue L2 with longer alkyl chains (,-dihexyl). The complexation of the ligands with Ln was confirmed by H NMR titration and X-ray crystallography, and stability constants were measured in methanol by spectrophotometric titration. The asymmetric ligands exhibited an improved performance in terms of selective solvent extraction of Am over Eu in strongly acidic solutions compared to their symmetric analogues.

Reported is the synthesis, crystal structure, and solid-state characterization of a new americium containing metal-organic framework (MOF), [Am(CHO)(HO)], . This material is constructed from Am metal centers and 1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC) ligands, forming a porous three-dimensional framework that is isostructural with several known trivalent lanthanide (Ln) analogs (e.g.
