Separation of trivalent actinides An­(III) from lanthanides Ln­(III) is a worldwide challenge owing to their very similar chemical behaviors. It is highly desirable to understand the nature of selectivity for the An­(III)/Ln­(III) separation with various ligands through theoretical calculations beca...
