Several extractants based on cobalt bis(dicarbollide) ion of formula [(1,2-C{sub 2}B{sub 9}H{sub 10})(1',2'- C{sub 2}B{sub 9}H{sub 11})-3,3'-Co(III)]{sup -} with covalently bonded CMPO group of general formulation [(Ph){sub 2}P(0)(CH{sub 2})C(0)N(H){sub n=0,1}] were prepared and tested for extraction of trivalent radionuclides. The compounds studied differ in mode of attachment of CMPO group to COSAN moiety. Compound 1 with diethylene glycol connector between the COSAN cage and CMPO group provided better extraction properties than compounds with direct attachment (2) and N-bridge connection of COSAN moiety to nitrogen of CMPO group (3a or 3b). The compounds allowed the use of a less-polar solvent mixture of hexyl-methylketone and n-dodecane, which could replace the polar and less environmentally friendly solvent nitrobenzene.
