N-Capric acid-anchored silanized silica gel: its application to sample clean-up of Th(iv) sorbed as a dinuclear species in quantified H-bonded dimeric metal-trapping cores

Abstract

nCA anchored to SSG surface generates 121 μM g−1 H-bonded metal-trapping cores with 10-fold increase in surface area for selective uptake of {Th2(OH)2(H2O)2}6+.
