Abstract
Experimental studies are reported herein on novel hydrophilic CHON-compliant ligands based on 1,10-phenanthroline-dicarboxamide derivatives bearing ethylene glycol (AE-DAPhen) and diethylene glycol (AEE-DAPhen) hydrophilizing terminal groups. These ligands exhibit high solubility in nitric acid solutions and demonstrate strong selectivity for Am(III) over Eu(III) in mildly acidic conditions against the TODGA (N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyl diglycolamide) ligand in organic phase using two different extraction methods. The maximum separation factors (SFEu/Am) achieved were 325 for AE-DAPhen and 291 for AEE-DAPhen. In addition, solvent extraction tests with Cm(III) were also conducted, and SFEu/Cm turned out to be surprisingly lower: 50 for AE-DAPhen and 55 for AEE-DAPhen. Overall, these observations amount to a relative SFCm/Am of 7.4–7.8, which is one of the best reported values for any CHON-compliant ligands. The theoretical results from quantum-chemical studies suggest a coordinative role of hydroxyl and etheric oxygen atoms, providing an understanding of the bonding interaction between the metal ions and ligands.
