The Solvent Extraction of Alkali Metal Picrates by 12-Crown-4

Calixarene Derivatives for the Complexation of Cesium and Thallium Cations

The synthesis and cation-binding properties of a series of Calixarene derivatives possessing alkyl chain groups, ester groups and crown ether rings have been investigated. The syntheses of Calix[4]arene crown ethers and Calix[6]arene derivatives possessing alkyl chain, ester group and crown ether ring have been described. In order to evaluate their monovalent cation binding abilities, solvent e...

Evaluation of the hydrophilic properties of crown ether-ion-pair complexes with alkali metal picrates by their distribution into less-polar diluents.

Cohesive energy densities (C(w,MLA)/J cm(-3)) for ion-pair complexes (MLA: M(+) = Li(+) to Cs+; w: water) with six crown ethers (L), such as 18-crown-6 ether (18C6), benzo-18C6, and dibenzo-24-crown-8 one, and A(-) = picrate were calculated at 298 K by a procedure that uses either (i) an equation rearranged from that underlying log K(D,MLA)-vs.-log K(D,L) plots or (ii) intercepts of their plots...

Extraction equilibria of uni- and bivalent metal picrates with 15,15-dimethyl-16-crown-5 in benzene/water system.

4 Solvent Extraction Equilibria

The ability of a solute (inorganic or organic) to distribute itself between an aqueous solution and an immiscible organic solvent has long been applied to separation and purification of solutes either by extraction into the organic phase, leaving undesirable substances in the aqueous phase; or by extraction of the undesirable substances into the organic phase, leaving the desirable solute in th...

Complexation Study of Alkali Metal Ions by Crown Ether Derivatives in Nonaqueous Solvents by Potentiometric Methods

The formation and stability of alkali metal complexes with crown ethers containing an anthraquinone unit has been investigated in methanol and acetonitrile solutions by potentiometric methods. Complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry were observed for all the studied systems; 2:1 complexes were only detected for the larger alkali cations (Rb and Cs) and with the ligand with the larger macrocyclic cavity ...
