Abstract
group. The major degradation products were identified and a degradation schema was proposed. The direct analysis of the solution containing Am(III) or Nd(III) showed that the degradation compounds retaining a diglycolamide skeleton are involved in heteroleptic complexes with TODGA, without a negative impact on An(III) or Ln(III) complexation.
