Abstract
A successful extraction process relies heavily on an excellent extractant structure. The theory of extractant structure and extraction performance is still insufficient to guide the design of new extractants, despite extensive research into extractants. However, diglycolamide extractants have demonstrated certain advantages in nuclear fuel reprocessing and rare earth extraction and separation. This paper focuses on the synthesis of 13 structurally serially changed extractants. The relationship between the structure and performance of extractants was systematically studied by the combination of theoretical calculations and experimental data to investigate the effects of symmetric, asymmetric and branched N-substituents on extraction performance.
