Abstract: FTIR spectroscopy was used to investigate the coordination interaction of D2EHPA[di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid] with lathanide(Ⅲ)series(La3+→Lu3+, except radioactive promethium). P=O band shifts to the lower frequency when D2EHPA is saponified with concentrated basic solutions (NaOH,KOH or NH3· H2O).The coordination sequence of Na+,K+and NH4+with P=O group is NH+>Na+>K+. The frequency of P=O band in the extracted organic phase containing RE-D2EHPA complexes shifts to the lower wavenumbers as the lanthanide(Ⅲ)loading increases in organic phase,and the intensity of P=O band increases. FTIR spectra results show that the coordination ability of lanthanide(Ⅲ)series with P=O group is as follows:La3+<Ce3+<Pr3+<Nd3+<Sm3+>Eu3+>…>Lu3+, namely,the complexation intreaction of Sm3+with P=O is the strongest.In addition,the w/o microemulsion was gradually destructed with the entrance RE3+into the organic phase.
