A four-step synthesis for 4,6-bis(diphenylphosphinoylmethyl)dibenzofuran (4) from dibenzofuran and a two-step synthesis for 4,6-bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)dibenzofuran (5) are reported along with coordination chemistry of 4 with In(III), La(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Er(III), and Pu(IV) and of 5 with Er(III). Crystal structure determinations for the ligands, 4 {center_dot} CH{sub 3}OH and 5, the 1:1 complexes [In(4)(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}], [Pr(4)(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}(CH{sub 3}CN)] {center_dot} 0.5CH{sub 3}CN, [Er(4)(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}(CH{sub 3}CN)] {center_dot} CH{sub 3}CN, [Pu(4)Cl4] {center_dot} THF and the 2:1 complex [Nd(4){sub 2}(NO{sub 3}){sub 2}]{sub 2}(NO{sub 3}){sub 2} {center_dot} (H{sub 2}O) {center_dot} 4(CH{sub 3}OH) are described. In these complexes, ligand 4 coordinates in a bidentate POP{prime}O{prime} mode via the two phosphine oxide O-atoms. The dibenzofuran ring O-atom points toward the central metal cations, but in every case it is more than 4 {angstrom} from the metal. A similar bidentate POP{prime}O{prime} chelate structure is formed between 5 and Er(III) in the complex, {l_brace}[Er(5){sub 2}(NO{sub 3}){sub 2}](NO{sub 3}) {center_dot} 4(CH{sub 3}OH){r_brace}0.5, although the nonbonded Er{hor_ellipsis} O{sub furan} distance is reduced to 3.6 {angstrom}. The observed bidentate chelation modes for 4 and 5 are consistent with results from molecular mechanics computations. The solvent extraction performance of 4 and 5 in 1,2-dichloroethane for Eu(III) and Am(III) in nitric acid solutions is described and compared against the extraction behavior of n-octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethyl phosphine oxide (O{Phi}DiBCMPO) measured under identical conditions.
