Popis: Bismalonamides 1–8 and bisthiomalonamides 9–13 were synthesised and studied as extracting agents for Am(III) and Eu(III) from nitric acid solutions into organic solvents. Bismalonamides 7a and 7g display higher distribution coefficients in chlorinated solvents than single malonamide DMDOHEMA, suggesting that bismalonamides could pre-organise the binding groups around the cation more efficiently. Additionally, back-extraction of Am(III) and Eu(III) from a loaded organic solution of 7g in (50:50)% vol TPH/1-octanol mixture allowed to recover 99% of the initially extracted Am(III) and Eu(III) after three times of contact with fresh 0.01 mol/L nitric acid solutions.
