Two members of the tetradentate N-donor ligand families 6,6'-bis(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine (BTBP) and 2,9-bis(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (BTPhen) currently being developed for separating actinides from lanthanides have been studied. It has confirmed that CyMe4-BTPhen 2 faster complexation kinetics than CyMe4-BTBP 1. The values HOMO-LUMO gap are comparable with those 1 which was previously calculated to be 2.13 eV. displacement BTBP its bis-lanthanum(III) complex by...
