It can be difficult to separate metals with similar radii using methods that depend on selectivity based on physical properties. However, in this presentation, I will explore how separation techniques can be developed based on differences in the electronic structure of molecules. As an example, I will showcase the separation of Tantalum and Niobium metalloisomers, which serves as evidence for the feasibility of this approach to separation.
