Interphase transfer of potassium and silver picrates with the participation of macrocyclic polyethers

The transfer of potassium and silver picrates through a liquid membrane in the presence of macrocyclic ligands containing donor atoms of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, and thiophosphonyl groups in the ring has been studied. An interrelationship has been established between the rate of interphase transfer and the size of the constant of the extraction of the salt from an aqueous phase into an organic phase with the aid of macrocyclic polyethers.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 600–604, September–October, 1985.
