Individual distribution constants (KD,A) of picrate ion (Pic−) and extraction constants (Kex±) of NaPic by some crown ethers (L) into benzene (Bz) at 25°C were calculated from data reported previously. These constants were defined asKD,Pic=Pic-o/[Pic-]andKex±=NaL+oPic-o/(Na+Lo[Pic-]), respectively. Here, the subscript “o” denotes an organic (o) phase and practically o = Bz. 15-Crown-5 ether (15C5), 18-crown-6 one (18C6), and their monobenzo (B) derivatives (B15C5 and B18C6) were selected as L. Interfacial equilibrium-potential differences (Δϕeq) at extraction were estimated at 298 K. A plot oflogKex±versus-Δϕeqfor the four L extraction systems gave a straight line with slope = 84 V−1. This slope was compared with those, reported before, of the dichloromethane (DCM), 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), and nitrobenzene (NB) extraction systems. The slopes of the regression lines were in the order NB < DCM ≤ DCE < Bz. Also, the individual distribution constants of the complex ionNaL+and an ion-pair complex (NaL+Pic-) into Bz phase were calculated from the above extraction data. At least, a comparison between these values suggests that Bz molecules mainly interact withNaL+moiety ofNaL+Pic-.
]) were obtained. Using these constants, the Pb(II) extraction with B18C6 under the co-presence of Cd(II) in the water phase was characterized. In such a characterization, I and I Bz dependences on the constants were mainly discussed, where their symbols denote the ionic strength of the water phase and that of the Bz one, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
