M. Iida et al., Hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of bis(octylethylenediamine) Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pd(II) chlorides in methanol/water and chloroform/water systems, CHEM LETT, (5), 2000, pp. 518-519
Double-chained bis(N-octylethylenediamine ( = OE)) complexes, such as Zn(OE
)(2)Cl-2, Cd(OE)(2)Cl-2 and Pd(OE)(2)Cl-2, were prepared and their selectiv
e solubilities in water/chloroform and water/methanol solutions were studie
d. Although all the complexes are poorly soluble in water, they showed clea
rly different solubilities in the water/organic mixed solvents depending on
each amphiphilic character.
