Effect of alkyl substituent on the amide of bis-lactam-1,10-phenanthroline ligands for lanthanide extraction
{{output}}
2,9-Diamide-1,10-phenanthroline (DAPhen) and bis-lactam-1,10-phenanthroline (BLPhen) ligands have been demonstrated to extract light lanthanides through size-specific coordination cavities selectively. Given that the alkyl chain has a substantial impact on the... ...
