Abstract
Carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) ligands have been used in industry to complex lanthanides and actinides primarily for the TRUEX nuclear waste remediation process. The anticipated goal is to improve upon current nuclear waste remediation strategies using novel tripodal CMPOs. The research presented in this poster will include the synthesis of multidentate CMPOs, their complexes with and extraction of f-elements. Also included is the utilization of CMPOs to computationally explore fundamental f-element coordination chemistry.
