title = "Synthesis and Evaluation of a Novel Hydrophilic 6,6{\textquoteright}-Bis(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2{\textquoteright}-bipyridine Ligand for Separating Actinide(III) from Lanthanide(III)",
abstract = "We report the synthesis and evaluation of a novel hydrophilic 6,6{\textquoteright}-bis(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2{\textquoteright}-bipyridine (BTBP) ligand containing carboxylate groups as a selective aqueous complexing agent for the minor actinides over lanthanides. The novel ligand is able to complex and separate Am(III) from Eu(III) in alkaline solutions selectively.",
