Monoamide (E) extractants are potential candidates to replace the tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) used in the reprocessing of nuclear fuels. In the present study we essentially used NMR ({sup 13}C and {sup 1}H) spectroscopy to identify the kinds of structural parameters conditioning the selectivity and efficiency of monoamide extractants. Information on nitrate groups bonded to the metallic ions and to the carbonyl moiety of monoamides was obtained by IR spectroscopy. The monoamides complexed with lanthanide(III) and plutonium(IV) nitrates were studied in benzene solution. Before obtaining conformational information from {sup 13}C relaxation times about the complexes, we first had to know the stoichiometries, to assign NMR spectra to the monoamides, and to check the fast exchange conditions. 59 refs., 9 figs., 9 tabs.
