Abstract

The chelation of lanthanides and actinides is of great importance due to the wide variety of applications such as nuclear waste remediation, MRI contrast agents, and chelation therapy. Three individual carbamoylmethyl phosphine oxide (CMPOs) ligands have been shown to be potent bidentate chelating agents in current nuclear waste remediation processes. Our research group's current interest lies in organizing these ligands on a tripodal cap to increase denticity and take advantage of the chelate effect. By derivatizing these tripodal CMPOs, we hope to increase these chelating agent's selectivity and affinity for f-series elements as well as the variety of their applications. Efforts toward the synthesis of these compounds and their metal complexation will be described.
