Solvent extraction of europium(III) with crown ethers and picrate ions

Journal Article · · Solvent Extr. Ion Exch.; (United States)

The extraction of europium(III) with 15-crown-5 (15C5), benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5), 18-crown-6 (18C6) or dibenzo-18-crown-6(DB18C6) and picrate anion into chloroform was measured at 25/sup 0/C. The stoichiometry in the species extracted was determined to be 1:2:3 with respect to europium(III), each crown ether employed and picrate ion. The extraction constants defined as K/sub ex/ = ((EuE/sub 2/A/sub 3/)/sub o//(Eu/sup 3 +/)/sub a/ x(E)/sub a//sup -2/ (A/sup -/)/sub a//sup -3/ were measured to be 10/sup 8.2/, 10/sup 11.1/, 10/sup 8.5/, and 10/sup 13.3/ for 15C5, B15C5, 18C6, and DB18C6, successively. 11 references, 2 figures, 1 table.
