Eo. Otu et Ad. Westland, LOW-TEMPERATURE P-31 NMR-STUDY OF THE EXTRACTION OF LANTHANUM WITH 2-ETHYLHEXYL PHENYLPHOSPHONIC ACID, Solvent extraction and ion exchange, 14(4), 1996, pp. 567-583
The use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to elucidate
the structure of complexes formed in liquid-liquid extraction is repor
ted. P-31 spectral information provided substantive evidence for the s
tructural difference of the isolated solid complex and the complex in
solution. Solvent effect exists for the P-31 chemical shift of the lan
thanum-2-ethylhexyl phenylphosphonate in n-hexane, toluene and tetrahy
drofuran, as well as in the extractability of lanthanum from aqueous p
erchloric acid solution.
