K. Ohto et al., SOLVENT-EXTRACTION OF SILVER(I) AND PALLADIUM(II) IONS WITH KETONE DERIVATIVE OF CALIX[4]ARENE FROM HIGHLY ACIDIC NITRATE MEDIA, Chemistry Letters, (2), 1996, pp. 173-174
The solvent extraction of silver (I) and palladium (II) ions with 25,2
6,27, 28-tetrakis(acetomethoxy)-5,11,17,23-tetrakis(1, 1,3,3-tetrameth
ylbutyl)calix[4]arene (1) in chloroform from nitric acid solution was
investigated. The compound 1 was capable of highly selectively extract
ing silver over palladium from about 1 mol dm(-3) nitric acid solution
and was effective in removing trace amounts of silver from a large ex
cess of palladium. The coordination site of silver ion on 1 was also d
etermined from the chemical shift in the H-1-NMR spectra.
