Abstract: A new series of monoalkyl t-butylphosphonates (MAtBP) with highly steric hindrance, t-C4H9P(O)(OR)OH, where R represents n-C5H17,-CH2CH(C2H5)C4H9,-CH(CH3)C6H13,-CH2CH2CH(CH3)CH2C(CH3)3 and n-C12H25, respectively, were synthesized and the relationship between their structure and extraction behaviour on Yb(Ⅲ), Lu(Ⅲ)Was investigated. Their extraction ability markedly decreases with the increase of the steric hindrance from ester alkyl group. There is an approximate linear correlation between pH1/2 values and Charton steric parameter v of the ester alkyl groups. The stripping behaviour of Yb, Lu with MAtBP is superior to that with mono-2-ethylhexyl 2-ethylhexylphosphonate (P-507).

Key words: monoalkyl t-butylphosphonate, extraction, Yb(Ⅲ), Lu(Ⅲ)
