Theoretical unraveling of the separation of trivalent Am and Eu ions by phosphine oxide ligands with different central heterocyclic moieties
Pin‐Wen Huang
Abstract
Am( iii )/Eu( iii ) separation mechanism of three phosphine oxide ligands with different central moieties were investigated using DFT method, the affinity of donor O atoms seems to have an opposite influence on the ligands’ separation ability.
