Abstract: The intent behind this proposal was to evaluate magnetic field effects of rare-earth ions on radical pairs. Rare-earth ions are notoriously challenging to separate based on similar thermodynamic characteristics (e.g. solubility) or ion radius, whereas magnetism varies starkly from rare-earth to rare-earth, even when ions are immediately adjacent on the periodic table. Magnetism could be a useful property then for separations, but a mechanism that is effective and selective for magnetic characteristics must be produced. A reactive mechanism for separations could likewise be interesting for selective separations, if a magnetic handle for such a separation could be defined. This proposal sought to understand a specific reactive, magnetic handle for a reactive separations scheme by creating proof of concept model complexes that place rare earths in proximity to photochemically active functional groups.
