Formation of Complexes of f-Elements with Electron-Withdrawing N-Heterocyclic Diamides: Extraction and Solution Photophysics

To examine the scope of the abnormal aryl strengthening effect (an increase in the extraction of metal ions when an aromatic substituent is introduced into the amide group) on f-metal extraction, a series of tetradentate diamide-type extragents bearing electron-withdrawing pyridine rings in amide mo...
