“…In chelating resins, the functional group atoms that are most frequently used consist of nitrogen (i.e., N present in amines, azo groups, amides, nitriles), oxygen (i.e., O present in carboxylic, hydroxyl, phenolic, ether, carbonyl), phosphoryl groups (i.e., P present in PeO or P]O groups), and sulfur (i.e., S present in thiols, thiocarbamates, thioethers). Usually, the anchored molecules contain nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atoms, or a combination of them, acting as the basic centers that complex cations and allow selective extraction [14][15][16][17][18][19]. The α-aminophosphonate-based compounds are among the most useful organophosphorus derivatives; they have attracted increasing attention because of their biological properties and potential applications in pharmacological and agrochemical fields [20,21].…”
