Abstract
We have used the reaction between the sodium salt of (diaryl)-N,N-di-(isobutyl)carbamoylmethylphosphine oxides {[Aryl)2P=O][iBu2NC=O]CH}-Na+ and chloromethylacetylenes to produce the first acetylenic derivatives of the carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) actinide extractants. The new compounds - CMPO-CH2C2H (1) {aryl = phenyl}, (2) {aryl = tBu-phenyl}; CMPO-CH2C2Me (3) {aryl = phenyl}; and CMPO-CH2C2CH2Cl (4) {aryl = phenyl}, (5) {aryl = tBu-phenyl} - have been characterized by spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 32P NMR) and also by single crystal X-ray diffraction. These new extractants lead the way to new derivatives aimed at using the materials as both optical and electrochemical actinide and other metal sensors.
