The reactivity of the nitrate radical (NO3˙) with organophosphorus and amidic actinide and lanthanide complexing agents of interest to nuclear solvent extraction applications was measured, resulting in the first-ever reported bimolecular rate constants for this radicals' reactions in dodecane solution. The order of reactivity for neutral organophosphorus compounds showed faster rate constants with increasing electron density on the phosphoryl phosphorus atom, indicating an increasing facility for electron abstraction reactions occurring in addition to H-atom abstraction from the ligand alkane chains. The only acidic organophosphorus compound investigated, HEH[EHP], showed low reactivity with the NO3˙ radical, attributed to its dimerization in this non-polar solvent. Amide ligand reaction rates were faster than for organophosphorus molecules, suggesting more facile H-atom abstraction from carbonyl activated methylene and amyl groups. While all rate constants were slower than the diffusion-limited rate they were still rapid enough to result in significant oxidation of solvent extraction ligands in dodecane solution.
