The field of uranium carboxylates has been studied for several decades and an important
library of coordination complexes and network solids is now well defined. It mainly concerns …

A fundamental property of ions is their size, a known fact since before the acceptance of the
modern atom model. The common way to describe the size of an ion is to determine its …

The synthesis and study of radioactive compounds are both inherently limited by their
toxicity, cost and isotope scarcity. Traditional methods using small inorganic or organic …

Liquid-liquid extraction is the most wildly adopted industrial Lns/Ans separation approach
which takes advantages of the subtle atomic size differences for Lns and Ans. Preorganized …

Understanding the bonding trends within, and the differences between, the 4f and 5f
element series with soft donor atom ligands will aid elucidation of the fundamental origins of …

The extraction and complexation of trivalent Am (III) and lanthanide (III) with a new
phenanthroline-derived phosphonate ligand, tetrabutyl-(1, 10-phenanthrolin-2, 9-diyl) …

Actinium-225 is a promising isotope for targeted-α therapy. Unfortunately, progress in
developing chelators for medicinal applications has been hindered by a limited …

In this work, a tetradentate N, O-hybrid 2, 9-bis (diphenylphosphine oxide)-1, 10-
phenanthroline (Ph2-BPPhen) ligand was studied for the coextraction of trivalent f-block …

Characterizing how actinide properties change across the f-element series is critical for
improving predictive capabilities and solving many nuclear problems facing our society …

A novel task-specific ionic liquid (PyTri-TSIL) decorated with 2, 6-bis-triazolyl-pyridine moiety
was synthesized via the click chemistry route. The performance of PyTri-TSIL in an ionic …
