Three octyl-extended bis-triamide extractants (L1–L3) were designed and synthesized for the selective solvent extraction of Th(IV) over U(VI) in a kerosene–HNO3system.L1andL2exhibited good extraction property and selectivity toward Th(IV) over U(VI) and reached extraction equilibrium within 10 min. In a wide range of a HNO3concentration from 0.1 to 3.0 M, the separation factor of Th(IV) over U(VI) (SFTh/U) ofL1andL2ranged from 12.1 ± 1.6 to 123.0 ± 20.2 and 15.2 ± 2.4 to 88.1 ± 14.9, respectively. Slope analysis indicated that Th(IV) was extracted as different species under different HNO3concentrations, in which the slopes were 2.08 ± 0.20, 1.61 ± 0.03, and 1.54 ± 0.03 forL1and 2.37 ± 0.22, 2.07 ± 0.17, and 1.76 ± 0.18 forL2under 0.1, 1.0, and 3.0 M HNO3, respectively. A continuous variation method (Job plot) illustrated a 1.5:1 ligand/thorium (L/Th) ratio in a methanol phase, indicating thatL1/L2and Th(IV) could form mixed 1:1 and 2:1 L/Th extracted complexes. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the extracted complexes ofL1andL2with Th during the extraction process at 0.1 M HNO3were [2L1·Th·3(NO3)]+and [2L2·Th·3(NO3)]+.
