The extraction behavior of Rh(III) with Hexahexyl-nitrilotriacetamide, NTAamide(C6) was investigated in three different diluents (acetophenone, AP, 1,2-dichloroethane, DCE, and 1-octanol, OC). The electrochemical behavior of the extracted Rh(III) complex in each diluent was investigated from linear sweep voltammetry. It was revealed that Rh(III) was reduced to Rh(0) metal by a three electron transfer in NTAamide(C6)/AP, DCE and OC system. The electrodeposits can be recovered from continuous solvent extraction and direct electrodeposition. The electrodeposits were identified by XPS and XRD analyses as mainly Rh metal.

The coordination states of Ln(III), (Ln=Pr, Nd, Tb and Dy) in ILs were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The thermodynamic properties for the isomerism of [TFSA]- from trans- to cis-isomer were evaluated. The cis-[TFSA]- conformer bound to Ln3+ cation was the preferred coordination state of [Ln(III)(cis-TFSA)5]2-. The bonding energies of [Ln(III)(cis-TFSA)5]2-, (Ln=Pr, Nd, Tb and Dy) were estimated from DFT calculation.

The metals used here may behave as anions at high Cl concentrations, and NTAamide(C6), which contains a tertiary N atom, is protonated under acidic conditions. Most of the metal ions in this study display higher distribution ratios (D(M)) from HCl than those from HNO, and exhibit 1:1 stoichiometries with NTAamide. Following the experimental results, the association constants and distribution coefficients of the group 12 elements are calculated via ion-pair extraction modeling using density functional theory calculations, and the simulations of D yield calculated values with the same trend as that of the measured values.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:14.27(Chemistry, Analytical)Extraction of Rh from HCl can be performed by NTAamide(C6) (hexahexyl-nitrilotriacetamide) and other related compounds into n-dodecane. We use ion-pair extraction of anionic species of Rh-chloride and protonated extractant. Rh behave as anion in hydrochloric acid and the tertiary nitrogen atom in extractant may be protonated to produce the quaternary amine in acidic condition. From the present work, the maximum distribution ratio of Rh(III) is 16. The D(Rh) values are changeable during preparation of the aqueous solutions because different Rh-Cl-HO complexes are formed in HCl media and show the slow exchange rate between Cl and H
O. Using the UV spectrum, Rh-chloride solution having the peak of spectrum at 504 nm can be extracted effectively, where RhCl

TODGA (tetraoctyl-diglycolamide) and DOODA(C8) (tetraoctyl-dioxaoctanediamide) have the opposite trend to extract light and heavy Ln through Ln-patterns. Metal-complexes of two folding Ln ions with water-soluble DOODA and three folding with DGA are found and their observed formation constants are calculated. The suitable separation condition (aqueous phase: 30 mM DOODA(C2) in 1 M nitric acid, organic phase: 0.1 M TODGA in n-dodecane) of multi-stage extraction (10 10) is conducted. From the present work, it is clear that La, Pr and Nd are mainly present in aqueous phase, instead Sm-Dy exist in the organic phase.

All lanthanides, Am, and Cm can be extracted using diglycolamide (DGA), and relatively high An/Ln separation efficiencies have been obtained using diethylenetriamine-triacetic-bisamide (DTBA). To improve the previous results as well as the separation conditions, we used organic acids for pH adjustment. The advantages of this modification included low HNO, DTBA concentrations and pH stability owing to the addition of lactic acid. Under these modified conditions, the recovery rates observed were as follows: 97.1% for Nd with the co-existence of 1.59% Am in organic phase, and 98.4% for Am with the co-existence of 2.95% Nd in aqueous phase.

. The calculated complexes with DTPA and DTPABA chelates reproduced the coordination geometries of experimental crystal structures. Calculated Gibbs free energies of the complex formation reactions indicated that Am
ion forms higher stable complexes with both chelates than Eu
ion, being consistent with the experimental results. The higher Am
selectivity over Eu
was suggested to originate in the larger bond overlap between Am
5f-orbital and N 2s, 2p-orbital. This mean that the covalent contribution between metal ion and donor atoms differentiates the complex formation stabilities, leading to the Am
