Abstract:
In this work, we studied the extraction systems for the separation f-elements based on the tetradentate N,O-donor ligand di(N-ethyl-4-ethylanilide) 2,2'-dipyridyl-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid (L). The organic phase of these systems was perspective fluorine-containing organic solvents-metanitrobenzotrifluoride (F-3), ionic liquid C4mimNTf2 (IL), and their mixture. The increase of Am(III) selectivity in the presence of Ln(III) in cases of the diluent mixture was shown. The mechanism of the f-element complexation leading to the improved properties of the extraction systems was studied by UV-visible, Raman-spectroscopy, XRD-study, and density functional theory calculations.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
