AFSAR, A., et al. Separation of Minor Actinides from Lanthanides Using Immobilized Ligand Systems: The Role of the Counterion. Heterocycles. 2019, 99(2), 825-833. ISSN 1881-0942. DOI 10.3987/COM-18-S(F)71.
A CyMe4-BTPhen functionalized silica gel that selectively extracts Am(III) over Eu(III) from 4 M HNO3 with a separation factor > 154 has been developed. Evidence is presented that the counterion surrounding the M(III) in the proposed 1:1 [BTPhen:M(III)] complex plays an important role in the complexation of Am(III) and Eu(III).
