Sx. Liu et al., STUDIES ON LANTHANIDE PICRATE COMPLEXES OF N'-DINAPHTHYL-N,N'-DIPHENYL-3,6-DIOXAOCTANEDIAMIDE AND THEIR EXTRACTABILITY, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 36(3), 1997, pp. 206-209
Lanthanide picrate complexes with N,N'-dinaphthyl-N,N'-diphenyl-3, 6-d
ioxaoctanediamide (DDD), Ln(Pic)(3), (DDD) (Ln=Ce, Nd, Eu, Tb, Er, Y)
have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivi
ty measurements, IR, H-1 NMR and UV-VIS spectra. In all complexes, DDD
shows quadridentate behaviour. Solvent extraction of light lanthanide
picrates with DDD has been carried out in water-nitrobenzene system.
The extraction equilibrium constants (K-e), and complexation constants
(K-c) in the nitrobenzene phase rare determined at 20 degrees C. The
K-e values for light lanthanide cations decrease in the order: La3+ >
Nd3+ > Eu3+.
