Ion-pair formation constants (K(MLA) mol(-1) dm(3)) of Na(+)- and K(+)-18-crown-6 ether (18C6) co... more Ion-pair formation constants (K(MLA) mol(-1) dm(3)) of Na(+)- and K(+)-18-crown-6 ether (18C6) complexes with MnO(4)(-) in water (w) were determined potentiometrically at 25 degrees C. Simultaneously, extraction constants (K(ex) mol(-2) dm(6)) of the permanganates with 18C6 from w into 1,2-dichloroethane at 25 degrees C were obtained from the spectrophotometric determination of distribution ratios of the permanganates. These K(ex) values were divided into K(MLA) and other three component equilibrium constants and thereby extraction-selectivity and -ability were discussed in comparison with corresponding metal picrate-18C6 extraction systems reported before.

In this study, we have investigated the partition of picrate ion (target anion, T(-)) from aqueous sodium picrate solutions into several ILs and the accompanying changes in aqueous concentrations of the IL component cation (C(+)) and anion (A(-)) at 298.2 K. The main ILs examined are 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, and 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide. The aqueous concentrations of C(+) and A(-) decreased and increased, respectively, with the extraction of T(-) into the IL phase. From the standpoint of equilibrium, the partition behavior of T(-) can be explained both by the anion exchange with A(-) in the IL phase and by the ion pair extraction with C(+) in the aqueous phase. The aqueous concentrations of C(+) and A(-) are governed by the solubility product of the IL (K(sp)). The distribution ratio of T(-) is expressed as a function of Δ[T(-)](W), namely, the difference between the initial and equilibrium concentrations of T(-) in the aqueous phase; the distribution ratio of T(-) is nearly constant when Δ[T(-)](W) < K(sp)(1/2), but decreases with increasing Δ[T(-)](W) in the larger Δ[T(-)](W) region. The equilibrium constants of the ion pair extraction and the ion exchange extraction have been determined for picrate and other phenolate ions whose partition data were previously reported. The dependences of the extraction constants and extractability on the kinds of IL component ions can be quantitatively explained on the basis of the variations of K(sp).

The K(ex) value was analyzed by the four fundamental equilibrium constants. The K(MLA) values were determined by applying our established method to this perchlorate extraction system. The K(M(B18C6)A) value of the perchlorate is much larger for K(+) than for Na(+), and is much smaller than that of the picrate. The K(M(B18C6)A) value makes a minor contribution to the magnitude of K(ex) for the perchlorate system, but a major contribution to that for the picrate one. The distribution behavior of the B18C6 1:1:1 complexes with the alkali metal perchlorates follows the regular solution theory. For the diluent with a high dipole moment, however, the 1:1:1 complexes somewhat undergo the dipole-dipole interaction. B18C6 always shows very high extraction selectivity for KClO(4) over NaClO(4), which is determined mostly by the much greater log/(log K(MLA)) value for K(+) than for Na(+). The extraction-ability and -selectivity of B18C6 for Na(+) and K(+) ions with a perchlorate ion were compared with those with a picrate ion in terms of the fundamental equilibrium constants. The K(+) extraction-selectivity of B18C6 over Na(+) for the perchlorate system is superior to that for the picrate one, which is caused largely by the greater log/(log K(K(B18C6)A))-log/(log K(Na(B18C6)A)) value for the perchlorate than for the picrate. The perchlorate system is recommended for extraction separation of K(+) from Na(+).

The log K(MLA) values for Na(+) and K(+) are 2.74+/-0.29 and 1.70+/-0.36, respectively. In going from 16-crown-5 (16C5) to L16C5, the side chains decrease the K(MLA) value, but do not increase the difference in K(MLA) between Na(+) and K(+). The distribution behavior of L16C5 and its 1:1:1 complexes with the alkali metal picrates closely obeys regular solution theory, except for chloroform. Molar volumes and solubility parameters of L16C5 and the 1:1:1 complexes were determined. The magnitude of K(ex) is mainly governed by the K(M(L16C5)A) value. For every diluent, L16C5 shows Na(+) extraction selectivity over K(+). The Na(+) extraction selectivity of L16C5 is determined completely by K(M(L16C5)A). The extraction ability and selectivity for sodium and potassium picrates by L16C5 are compared with those of 16C5 on the basis of the fundamental equilibrium constants.

The KML value of 19C6 for M+ and M2+ decreases in the order Rb+ = K+ > Tl+ > Na+ = Ag+ > Li+ ˜ Cs+ and Pb2+ > Ba2+ > Sr2+ > Cd2+ > Ca2+, respectively. The selectivity for the neighboring alkali metal ions in the periodic table is lower for 19C6 than for 18-crown-6 (18C6) except for the case of Rb+ and Cs+. The same is true for the alkaline earth metal ions. Generally, the KML values of 19C6 with M2+ are greater than those with M+. For Na+ and the ions which are smaller in size than Na+ (Li+, Ca2+, Cd2+), the KML value is larger for 19C6 than for 18C6, but the contrary holds for all the other ions of larger sizes than Na+. The limiting ionic molar conductivity (?°) of the 19C6–K+ complex in water at 25 °C was determined to be 43. Although 19C6 is larger than 18C6, the 19C6–K+ complex is much more mobile in...

The distribution behavior of DB24C8 and M(DB24C8)A complexes can be explained by regular solution theory; the molar volumes and the solubility parameters of DB24C8 and M(DB24C8)A were determined. The log KD,MLA value for the same diluent decreases from Na to K and increases from K to Cs; however, the reverse is true of the log KMLA values. The extraction selectivity of DB24C8 for the alkali metal picrates decreases in the order Cs>Rb>K>Na or Cs>K≥or >Rb>Na. This is governed largely by the aqueous stability order for the M(DB24C8)+ complex ions. For every diluent, the plot of log Kex values against the reciprocal effective ionic radii of the alkali metals gives a straight line, which is related to Born's formula of solvation free energy. The reason for this was elucidated.

By using these data and the related literature values, the enthalpy (ΔH° t r ) and entropy changes (ΔS° t r ) of transfer of the 1:1 complexes of 15C5 and B15C5 with alkali metal ions (M + ) between the polar solvents were calculated from the Ph 4 As + /Ph 4 B - assumption via a thermodynamic cycle. Both the ΔH° t r and ΔS° t r values from water to s for 15C5 and B15C5 are all positive, reflecting hydrogen bonding between water and the ether oxygen atoms. The ΔH° t r (H 2 O→s) value is always greater for 15C5 than for B15C5. This is attributed to the stronger interaction with water of the aliphatic ether oxygen atom compared with the aromatic one. The enthalpic interaction with the solvents of the crown-5 complex is governed largely by that of the M + ion. The M(15C5) + and M(B15C5) + complexes act as hydrophobic structure-makers in water. Generally, the complexation in the solvent of 15C5 with Na + is enthalpically less favorable than that with K + {ΔH° N a ( 1 5 C 5 ) (s)> ΔH° K ( 1 5 C 5 ) (s)}. This is caused mostly by the much smaller ΔΗ° t r (Na + : gas→s) value compared with K + . However, the larger ΔH° t r (Na(15C5) + : gas→s) value compared with K + also contributes to the fact that ΔH° N a ( 1 5 C 5 ) (s)>ΔH° K ( 1 5 C 5 ) (s).

The stability constants in acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, and water vary as Na+ K+ ≤ Rb+ > Cs+; this selectivity pattern is the same as that previously reported in methanol. In these solvents, the K+/Na+ selectivity of DB21C7 is higher than that of dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) and dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8). The stability constant in nitromethane, which has the weakest solvation power for the metal ions, decreases with increasing ionic size (Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+), reflecting the gas-phase selectivity governed by the electrostatic interaction between the ether oxygen atoms and the metal ion. The transfer activity coefficients of DB21C7 and its alkali metal ion complexes from nitromethane to the other solvents have been determined to evaluate the solvation of these solutes. It is shown that DB21C7 shields the alkali metal ions effectively from the solvents; the shielding by DB21C7 is generally more effective than by DB18C6 but less effective than by DB24C8.
