Thermodynamic and spectroscopic study on the solvation and complexation behavior of Ln(<scp>iii</scp>) in ionic liquids: binding of Ln(<scp>iii</scp>) with CMPO in C₄mimNTf₂

Abstract

Thermodynamics of Ln(<sc>iii</sc>) complexation with CMPO in “dry” and “wet” ionic liquids reflects how solvation of Ln(<sc>iii</sc>) affects the complexation and helps identify the extractive species involved in solvent extraction.
