title: Highly Practical and Simple Ligand for Separation of Am(III) and Eu(III) from Highly Acidic Media.
abstract: A new, high-performance, highly practical, simple reagent called alkyl diamide amine (ADAAM) was examined for the separation of Am(III) and Eu(III). ADAAM has three donor atoms, one soft N-donor atom and two hard O-donor atoms, on a central frame. The combination of soft and hard donor atoms affords a tridentate that ensures remarkable extraction ability and selectivity of Am(III) and Eu(III) from highly acidic media (1.5 M HNO3) with a separation factor up to 25.
