Hydrophilic diglycolamides (DGA) ligands have been explored for use as stripping agents in various lanthanide and actinide partitioning processes.1 The separation of lanthanide fission products and transplutonic actinides can serve multifaceted advantages, in that the separation of neutron poisoning rare earth element (REE) fission products from the minor actinides in used nuclear fuel (UNF) can be mutually beneficial to the fundamental research behind REE separations and UNF separations. Considerable efforts have been devoted to understanding the radiation chemistry of hydrophilic DGAs. However, recent studies with lipophilic DGAs have shown that metal ion complexation can promote significant changes in their radiolytic susceptibility.2,3 These effects have been attributed to various parameters, including delocalization of electron density, the presence of radiolytically more susceptible counter ions, and steric hindrance. As such, it is pivotal for these complexation effects to be more thoroughly probed to establish mechanistic knowledge for their effects on hydrophilic DGA molecules. Here we present a time-resolved electron pulse and accumulated gamma dose irradiation study on neodymium ion complexes of tetramethyl diglycolamide (TMDGA) under aqueous solution conditions.
