Abstract (englisch):

N,N’-Dimethyl,N,N’-dioctylhexylethoxymalonamide (DMDOHEMA) is used to separate An(III) and Ln(III)
from fission products in several liquid–liquid extraction processes that aim at recycling actinides. The stoichiometry
of the extracted complexes is important for a complete understanding of the processes. The
presented work focuses on the complexation of Cm(III) with DMDOHEMA studied by TRLFS in mono- and
biphasic (solvent extraction) systems. The formation of [Cm(DMDOHEMA)n]3+ (n = 1–3) in 1-octanol containing
1.7 mol L−1 of water with log β’1 = 2.6 ± 0.3, log β’2 = 4.0 ± 0.5, log β’3 = 4.3 ± 0.5 was confirmed.
In addition, fluorescence lifetime measurements indicated the formation of a 1 : 4 complex. Furthermore,
solvent extraction experiments were performed, varying the proton and nitrate concentrations. TRLFS
measurements of organic phases confirmed the existence of two species, [Cm(DMDOHEMA)3(NO3)
(H2O)1–2]2+ (dominant at high proton and nitrate concentrations) and [Cm(DMDOHEMA)4(H2O)]3+ (dominant
at low proton and nitrate concentrations). To support the proposed stoichiometries, vibronic sideband
spectroscopy (VSBS) was employed, allowing the observation of vibrations of functional groups coordinated
