Abstract

Abstract : A dithiopicolinamide analog selectively extracts Am(iii ) over Eu(iii ) under acidic conditions. Abstract : Selectivity for An(iii ) vs. Ln(iii ) binding and extraction using dipicolinamide analogs containing the CO vs. CS groups was investigated in solution and the gas-phase, and by DFT calculations. The results show higher selectivity for complex formation and extraction for Am(iii ) vs. Eu(iii ) for the softer dithioamide vs. the diamide ligand, while in CH3 CN the diamide binds more strongly than the thioamide to several Ln(iii ), forming 1 : 1 complexes.
