Electrolytic conductivities, densities, viscosities, and FT-IR spectra of 1-butyl-2,3 dimethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmmim][BF4]) have been studied in tetrahydrofuran, dimethylacetamide and methyl cellosolve at different temperatures.
Abstract
This review article gives a comprehensive account of the extraction of actinide ions using room temperature ionic liquid-based solvent systems containing diglycolamide (DGA) or functionalized DGA extractants. These extractants include multiple DGA-functionalized ligands such as tripodal DGA (T-DGA) and DGA-functionalized calix [4]arenes (C4DGA). Apart from metal ion extraction behaviour, other important features of the ionic liquid-based solvent systems such as separation behaviour, luminescence spectroscopic results, thermodynamics of extraction and radiolytic stability of the ionic liquid-based solvents are also reviewed. Results from studies on DGA-functionalized task-specific ionic liquids (TSIL) are also included in this review article.
