Experimental and Ab Initio Theoretical Search for Lanthanide Covalency for Enhanced Rare Earth Separations
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
The objective of this project is to develop new concepts in lanthanide bonding that will ultimately lead to novel ligands for the efficient separation of rare earth elements. Specifically, we are searching for and characterizing covalent bonding interactions between lanthanides and main group elements. The project is a combined experimental and theoretical effort where targets complexes are proposed and synthesized in the laboratory, and theoretical calculations are carried out to gain insight into the nature of bonding in the synthesized complexes.
