Siderophore-inspired chelator hijacks uranium from aqueous medium, Published online: 18 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08758-1

Development of simple uranyl recognition motifs possessing siderophore-like binding strength and selectivity presents a challenge. Here the authors show a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study on uranyl binding with a polymeric adsorbent material decorated with a non-toxic siderophore inspired small molecule chelator.
