The process chemistry is unique and complicated, since the extractants, chlorinated cobalt dicarbollide (CCD), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and diphenyl-N,N-di-n-butylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (Ph2CMPO), operate synergistically to extract the major radionuclides. A combination of classical chemistry techniques, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were utilized to identify and explain the structures formed in the organic phase with protons or metal ions. Model systems, CCD-PEG and CCD-bidentate organophosphorus compounds were studied and possible structures of complexes, existing in the organic phase, are proposed and properties of the UNEX extractant are discussed.",
