Abstract: A new complex of N , N '-bis(3-allyl salicylidene) o -phenylenediamine and thorium(IV) (Th(IV)) was synthesized and used as the functional monomer for a novel Th(IV) magnetic ion-imprinted polymer; this polymer was synthesized using a surface imprinting technique that included the modified magnetic Fe 3 O 4 particle and used tetraethyl orthosilicate, 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane and maleic anhydride in the process. The magnetic polymer was characterized using FT-IR, and powder- and single crystal-XRD. The behavior of Th(IV) was investigated using batch experiments. At pH 4.5, the uptake capacity of this adsorbent and that of the non-imprinted polymer was 42.54 and 14.10 mg g -1 , respectively, and the relative selectivity coefficient values of the synthesized adsorbent for Th(IV)/La(III), Th(IV)/Ce(III), Th(IV)/Nd(III), and Th(IV)/U(VI) were 82.2, 93.1, 21.0 and 62.4 times greater than that of the non-imprinted matrix, respectively. In addition, the Th(IV) adsorption process using Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -IIP follows pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics and the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters also suggest that the adsorption of Th(IV) onto Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -IIPs was a spontaneous and endothermic process
