      abstract     = {The synthesis, lanthanide complexation, and solvent
                      extraction of actinide(III) and lanthanide(III) radiotracers
                      from nitric acid solutions by a phenanthroline-derived
                      quadridentate bis-triazine ligand are described. The ligand
                      separates Am(III) and Cm(III) from the lanthanides with
                      remarkably high efficiency, high selectivity, and fast
                      extraction kinetics compared to its 2,2'-bipyridine
                      counterpart. Structures of the 1:2 bis-complexes of the
                      ligand with Eu(III) and Yb(III) were elucidated by X-ray
                      crystallography and force field calculations, respectively.
                      The Eu(III) bis-complex is the first 1:2 bis-complex of a
                      quadridentate bis-triazine ligand to be characterized by
                      crystallography. The faster rates of extraction were
                      verified by kinetics measurements using the rotating
                      membrane cell technique in several diluents. The improved
                      kinetics of metal ion extraction are related to the higher
                      surface activity of the ligand at the phase interface. The
                      improvement in the ligand's properties on replacing the
                      bipyridine unit with a phenanthroline unit far exceeds what
                      was anticipated based on ligand design alone.},
