The chemical separation of minor actinides (MAs) over lanthanides from high-level waste
(HLW) is one of the hottest and most difficult topics in international separation science. N, O …

The successful management and safe disposal of high-level nuclear waste necessitate the
efficient separation of actinides (An) from lanthanides (Ln), which has emerged as a crucial …

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 …

Theoretical calculations (density functional theory with the scalar relativistic ZORA
Hamiltonian) have been performed to obtain the energy and Gibbs free energy of formation …

1, 10-Phenanthroline-2, 9-dicarboxamides of various structures were synthesized and
studied as ligands for separation and sensing of d-and f-metals. It was found that the …

A highly efficient synthetic approach was developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical 1, 10-
phenanthroline-2, 9-diamides with two different substituents in the fourth and seventh …

The conventional concept of selective complexation of actinides with soft donor ligands
(either S or N donor) has been modified here through exploiting the concept,“intra-ligand …

The bistriazinyl-phenanthroline representative ligand, BTPhen, shows excellent extraction
and separation ability for trivalent actinides and lanthanides. Herein, we first designed three …

The preorganized tetradentate 2, 9-diamido-1, 10-phenanthroline ligand with hard–soft
donors combined in the same molecule has been found to possess high selectivity toward …

N, N′-Dialkyl-N, N′-diaryl-1, 10-phenanthroline-2, 9-dicarboxamides (IV) were predicted
(DFT simulation) and then were proved experimentally to be efficient donor ligands with high …
