- W4286561750 abstract "Advancing the field of chemical separations is important for nearly every area of science and technology. Some of the most challenging separations are associated with the americium ion Am(III) for its extraction in the nuclear fuel cycle, 241Am production for industrial usage, and environmental cleanup efforts. Herein, we study a series of extractants, using first-principle calculations, to identify the electronic properties that preferentially influence Am(III) binding in separations. As the most used extractant family and because it affords a high degree of functionalization, the polypyridyl family of extractants is chosen to study the effects of the planarity of the structure, preorganization of coordinating atoms, and substitution of various functional groups. The actinyl ions are used as a structurally simplified surrogate model to quickly screen the most promising candidates that can separate these metal ions. The down-selected extractants are then tested for the Am(III)/Eu(III) system. Our results show that π interactions, especially those between the central terpyridine ring and Am(III), play a crucial role in separation. Adding an electron-donating group onto the terpyridine backbone increases the binding energies to Am(III) and stabilizes Am-terpyridine coordination. Increasing the planarity of the extractant increases the binding strength as well, although this effect is found to be rather weak. Preorganizing the coordinating atoms of an extractant to their binding configuration as in the bound metal complex speeds up the binding process and significantly improves the kinetics of the separation process. This conclusion is validated by the synthesized 1,2-dihydrodipyrido[4,3-b;5,6-b]acridine (13) extractant, a preorganized derivative of the terpyridine extractant, which we experimentally showed was four times more effective than terpyridine at separating Am3+ from Eu3+ (SFAm/Eu ∼ 23 ± 1)." @default.
