Five tripodal ligands bearing carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) groups have been synthesized. These ligands vary in the length of the pendant alkyl chains bonded to the CMPO group (Et, Bu, Hex, 2-Ethyl hexyl), as well as the hydrophobicity of the tripodal cap (tertiary amine to methine). The effect of these structural changes on the ability of each ligand to extract Ln(NO
