Ye. Pazukhina et al., INFLUENCE OF THE NATURE OF METAL-IONS ON THE EXTRACTION CONSTANTS OF THEIR DITHIOCARBAMATES, Solvent extraction and ion exchange, 15(5), 1997, pp. 777-790
It is demonstrated that the electronegativity of metals extracted in t
he form of diethyldithiocarbamates affects the extraction constants in
two ways, namely, through its influence on the chelate stability and
the partition constants. The corresponding interrelations can be used
to predict extraction constants from any of the following three charac
teristics: the Klopman electronegativity of the metal, the chelate par
tition constant, or the chelate stability constant.
