One of the most intensely studied areas of f-block chemistry is the nature of the bonds
between the f-element and another species, and in particular the role played by covalency …

Abstract Heteroaryl‐1, 2, 4‐triazine complexants are commonly utilized in separation
science for the selective chelation of minor An from Ln in simulated high‐level waste. To …

The effective partitioning and transmutation of the minor An from the Ln in spent nuclear fuel
in a non-proliferative manner is critical to lowering potential impact to the environment …

Exothermic, spontaneous inner-sphere complexation of trivalent lanthanides with N, N, N′,
N′, N ″, N ″-hexaalkyl-substituted nitrilotriacetamides (HRNTAs) into 1-hexyl-3 …

The evaluation of bis-1, 2, 4-triazine complexants containing eight-carbon, alkoxy-
functionalized phenyl substituents at the 3, 3′-positions for selective minor actinide …

Efforts toward further closure of the nuclear fuel cycle are contingent, in part, on
chemoselective removal of the minor An from Ln within spent nuclear fuel. Liquid-liquid …

This thesis investigated the synthesis, solubility, and acid-contact properties of 3, 3'-diester
functionalized complexants for potential applications in minor actinide separations of spent …
