“…14 Diamides of 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxilyc acid were recently proposed as selective extractants for americium and curium. 22 Recently, it was shown 23 that the extraction ability of N,N'diethyl-N,N'-di(para-hexyl-phenyl)-1,10-phenantholine-4,7dichloro-2,9-dicarboxamide to lanthanides decreases from La to Lu. 18 The extraction of actinides 19,20 and some fission products 21 by 0.01 M solution of N,N'-diethyl-N,N'-ditolyl-2,9-diamide-1,10phenanthroline (Et-Tol-DAPhen) in cyclohexanone was studied and SF Am/Eu being 67 was observed.…”
