Abstract

Radiation and chemical stabilities of CMPO-functionalised calix[4]arenes, promising ligands for extraction of actinides and lanthanides, were studied both in solution and in the solid state. A comparison of the results showed that the degradation of ligands under radiolytic conditions proceeds indirectly via interactions with the solvent. The radiation stabilities in chloroform and 1-octanol were systematically studied using model compounds, and the main degradation product under extraction conditions (organic phase/conc. HNO3) was characterised.
