The gestion of nuclear waste remains a major challenge for futur generations, specially the stockage of high radiotoxic wastes.The minor actinides [AM] (Am, Cm) represent to long time (103 -107 y) the principal contribution of waste radiotoxicity.The transmutation of AM (transformation of nuclides to an other nuclides by particles bombardment) is going to allow of important decrease of waste radiotoxicity, but require the separation of AM from neutrophage lanthanides [Ln].The partitioning of AM from Ln is one of the biggest problem for chemists because the very similar properties of Ln and trivalent actinides .

A way for AM/Ln separation is the liq.-liq extraction. The 1,2,4-triazin-3-yl oligopyridines (BTP)is found to separate AM from Ln with an excellent distribution ratio AM/Ln. We study the solution structure of Ln-BTP and Ac-BTP complexes to determine the causes of selectivity of BTP for Ac in liq-liq extraction experiences.

The additions of BTP ligands produce a decrease of relaxivity of Gd because BTP remove solvent molecules from paramagnetic center and relax more slowly in the bulk of the solution.A plateau is observed for ligand/metal ratio of 3/1.The highest stoechiometry of complex with BTP is Ln(R-BTP)3.
The NMR1H spectrums of BTP/Yb with ratio 1/1 to 3/1are the same.
The BTP ligands form in solution tris-complex with Ln.

The BTP ligands form high symmetric tris-complex with Ln and are extremely rigid. To our knowledge, is the first example of a rigidification of substituent of ligand caused by the formation of a complex and induced an inequivalence brought about in methylene groups that belong to substituents rather than to the core part of ligand. The futur NMR and NMRD studies of Am-BTP and Cm-BTP will help us to explain causes of selectivity of BTP for Ac in liquid-liquid extraction experiences.
The dipolar paramagnetic shift induced by Yb3+ are directly related to the geometry of complex and allow to deduce the solution structure of Ln(BTP)3. The excellent correlation between experimental shifts and geometric factor G indicate that the solution and solid state structure are similar.
