Title: Efficient Separation of Light Lanthanides(III) by Using Bis-Lactam Phenanthroline Ligands

Abstract

Abstract Due to the ever‐increasing demand for high‐purity individual rare‐earth elements, novel and highly selective separation processes are increasingly sought after. Herein, we report a separation protocol that employs shape‐persistent 2,9‐bis‐lactam‐1,10‐phenanthroline (BLPhen) ligands exhibiting unparalleled selectivity for light trivalent lanthanides. The highly preorganised binding pockets of the ligands allowed for the separation of lanthanides with high fidelity, even in the presence of competing transition metals, in a biphasic separation system. Notably, the selectivity trends of the BLPhen ligands towards metal ions across the lanthanide series can be chemically modulated by altering the molecular rigidity of the extractant.

Atomistic Insights into Structure and Dynamics of Neodymium(III) Complexation with a Bis-lactam Phenanthroline Ligand in the Organic Phase

Journal Article Reddy, Th. Dhileep N. ; Ivanov, Alexander S. ; Driscoll, Darren M. ; ... - ACS Omega

Rare-earth elements (REEs) such as neodymium are critical materials needed in many important technologies, and rigid neutral bis-lactam-1,10-phenanthroline (BLPhen) ligands show one of the highest extraction performance for complexing Nd(III) in REE uptake and separation processes. However, the local structure of the complexes formed between BLPhen and Nd(III) in a typical organic solvent such as dichloroethane (DCE) is unclear. Here, we perform first-principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) simulations to unveil the structure of complexes formed by BLPhen with Nd(NO₃)₃ in the DCE solvent. BLPhen can bind to Nd(III) in either 1:1 or 2:1 fashion. In the 1:1 complex, three nitrates bindmore »« less

Journal Article Jansone-Popova, Santa ; Ivanov, Alexander S. ; Bryantsev, Vyacheslav S. ; ... - Inorganic Chemistry

Here, we report a new family of preorganized bislactam- 1,10-phenanthroline (BLPhen) complexants that possess both hard and soft donor atoms within a convergent cavity and show unprecedented extraction strength for the trivalent fblock metal ions. BLPhen ligands with saturated and unsaturated δ-lactam rings have notable differences in their affinity and selectivity for Am(III) over Eu(III), with the latter being the most selective mixed N,O-donor extractant of Am(III) reported to date. Saturated BLPhen was crystallized with five Ln(III) nitrates to form charge-neutral 1:1 complexes in the solid state. DFT calculations further elaborate on the variety of effects that dictate the performancemore » of these preorganized compounds.« less

Changes in nitrate binding with lanthanides in BLPhen complexes

Journal Article Reddy, Th. Dhileep N. ; Ivanov, Alexander S. ; Driscoll, Darren M. ; ... - Journal of Molecular Liquids

Preorganized ligands such as bis-lactam-1,10-phenanthroline (BLPhen) offer unique selectivity trends in solvent extraction of rare-earth ions, particularly from aqueous nitrate solutions. However, due to the ligand’s lipophilicity it is experimentally challenging to obtain crystal structures of the corresponding lanthanide (Ln):ligand complexes to describe the local structure of the first coordination shell and the role of the nitrate ions in the organic phase. In this work, we report first principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) simulations of the complexation of trivalent lanthanide ions (La, Nd, and Eu) with the BLPhen ligand in the presence of nitrate ions in the dichloroethane (DCE) solvent.

Efficient separation of minor actinides and lanthanides from used nuclear fuel could potentially lead to the development of sustainable nuclear fuel cycles. In this work, we report an in-depth study on selectivity and speciation in the extraction of the trivalent minor actinide Am and rare earth metal ions with a pre-organized phenanthroline-based ligand in a hydrocarbon solvent system relevant to nuclear fuel reprocessing. The 1:1 and 2:1 ligand-to-metal complexes determine the speciation in the organic solvent over a range of ligand-to-metal concentrations, as evidenced by experimental data and supported by modeling.

Complexation of Am(III) and Nd(III) by 1,10-Phenanthroline-2,9-Dicarboxylic Acid

Journal Article Ogden, Mark D. ; Sinkov, Sergey I. ; Nilsson, Mikael ; ... - Journal of Solution Chemistry, 42(1):211-225

The complexant 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (PDA) is a planar tetradentate ligand that is more preorganized for metal complexation than its unconstrained analogue ethylendiiminodiacetic acid (EDDA). Furthermore, the backbone nitrogen atoms of PDA are aromatic, hence are softer than the aliphatic amines of EDDA. It has been hypothesized that PDA will selectively bond to trivalent actinides over lanthanides. In this report, the results of spectrophotometric studies of the complexation of Nd(III) and Am(III) by PDA are reported. Because the complexes are moderately stable, it was necessary to conduct these titrations using competitive equilibrium methods, competitive cation omplexing between PDA and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid,more »« less
