The effect of an excess of hydrogen peroxide, which may lead to the formation of chalcogenones before the elimination, and of MeHg+, a severe toxicant targeting selenoproteins, which leads to the formation of methylmercury selenocysteinate, are also studied with the aim of assessing whether these pathological conditions facilitate the formation of Dha. Indeed, elimination occurs after chalcogen oxidation and MeHg+ facilitates the process. These results indicate a possible mechanism of toxicity of MeHg+ in selenoproteins.N,O-hybrid diamide ligands with N-heterocyclic skeletons are one of the promising extractants for the selective separation of actinides over lanthanides in a highly acidic HNO3 solution. In this work, three hard-soft donor mixed diamide ligands, pyridine-2,6-diylbis(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethanone) (Pyr-PyDA), 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-diylbis(pyr-rolidine-1-ylmethanone) (Pyr-BPyDA), and (1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl)bis(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethanone) (Pyr-DAPhen), were synthesized and used to probe the influence of N-heterocyclic cores on the complexation and extraction behaviors with trivalent lanthanides and actinides. 1H NMR titration experiments demonstrated that 11 metal-to-ligand complexes were mainly formed between the three ligands and lanthanides, but 12 type complexes were also formed between tridentate Pyr-PyDA and Lu(III). The stability constants (log β) of these three ligands with two typical lanthanides, Nd(III) and Eu(III), were determined through spectrophotometric titration. It is found that Pyr-DAPhen formed the most stable complexes, while Pyr-PyDA formed the most unstable complexes with lanthanides, which coincided well with the following solvent extraction results. The solid-state structures of 11 type complexes of these three ligands with La(III), Nd(III), and Er(III) in nitr
