The extractability of heavier Ln was remarkably enhanced, resulting in a significant improvement in the separation of Ln. It was found that the present synergism is ascribed to the formation of cationic ternary complexes, followed by ion exchange into the ionic liquid.}, pages = {323--325}, title = {Highly Selective Synergism for the Extraction of Lanthanoid(III) Ions with β-Diketones and Trioctylphosphine Oxide in an Ionic Liquid}, volume = {30}, year = {2014} }
