Solid complexes of lanthanide picrates with 2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(oxy)]-bis(N-methyl-N-phenyl(acetamide)) (L) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, IR, electronic and ¹H NMR spectroscopies. The crystal structure of terbium complex shows a nona-coordination polyhedron in the form of a distorted mono-capped square antiprism. The extractability of lanthanide ions by L has been investigated using multitracer technology.
