abstract = {Minor actinide (MA) selective materials that are resistant
to radiation are necessary to enable separation of MAs from
lanthanides in nuclear wastes. Zirconium(IV) phosphonates
(ZrPs) are a class of amorphous coordination polymers with
promising applications as a solid-phase sorbent for
MA-lanthanide separations. In this study, a zirconium
phosphonate sorbent (ZrPTP) that intramolecularly
incorporates the MA-selective
2,6-bis(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine (PTP) ligand was
synthesised and evaluated for radiation tolerance with high
energy electron irradiation to doses of 2 MGy. The MA
sorption selectivity of ZrPTP before and after irradiation
was compared using Am and Eu. ZrPTP demonstrated maintained
selectivity for Am over Eu even after a 2 MGy dose.
Synchrotron radiation characterisation techniques and
solid-state NMR were employed to accurately assess the
average local structure before and after irradiation, where
minor amounts of Zr–O bonds, aliphatic C–H bonds, and
triazole groups were broken, showcasing excellent radiation
stability for doses up to 2 MGy. Our results demonstrate the
importance of chemistry in ZrP coordination polymers
maintaining not only selective separation properties, but
also maintaining radiation stability as well.},
