AB  - Several novel extraction chromatography resins (EXC) have been synthesised by 
      solvent impregnation of the triazine ligands 
      6,6'-bis(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine 
      (CyMe(4)BTBP) and 
      2,9-bis(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-benzo[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline 
      (CyMe(4)BTPhen) into Amberlite XAD7 and Amberchrom CG300 polymer supports. The 
      resins have been physically characterised by a suite of spectroscopic, analytical 
      and imaging techniques. The resins have also been evaluated in terms of their 
      ability to selectively extract americium from complex matrices intended to 
      simulate those typical of spent nuclear fuel raffinate, environmental samples and 
      nuclear forensics samples. The resins have been compared with previously reported 
      attempts to generate EXC resins based on CyMe(4)BTBP and CyMe(4)BTPhen. 
      Previously reported resins all rely on complex synthesis for the formation of a 
      covalent bond between extractant and support by contrast with the simpler solvent 
      impregnation method reported here. The Amberchrom supported CyMe(4)BTBP resin 
      achieved a weight distribution ration (D(Am)) of 170 within 60 min and a 
      decontamination factor (DF) of >1000 for americium over lanthanides by column 
      chromatography. The Amberchrom CyMe(4)BTPhen resin achieved a D(Am) of 540 within 
      30 min and a DF for americium from lanthanides of 60-160.
