We report here the synthesis and characterization of a series of tripodal carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) compounds along with their resultant metal complexes. These compounds vary in size of the tripodal cap, as well as hydrophobicity of the CMPO group. The influence of these changes on their ability to extract Ln and An ions out of acidic aqueous media will be described.
