Extraction behavior of actinides and fission products in amide functionalized ionic liquid

► Synthesis of a new amide functionalized ionic liquid, DOAImNTf2. ► Extraction of Pu(IV), U(VI), Am(III) and fission products in DOAImNTf2. ► Unusual extraction of Pu(IV). ► High separation factor of Pu(IV) over other actinides and fission products. ► Task specific nature of DOAImNTf2.
