Abstract: | Summary. From extraction experiments and γ-activity measurements, the extraction constant corresponding to the equilibrium H+ (aq) + NaL+ (nb) = HL+ (nb) + Na+ (aq) taking place in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene system (L = valinomycin, aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was evaluated as log Kex (H+, NaL+) = −1.1 ± 0.1. Further, the stability constant of the valinomycin-proton complex in nitrobenzene saturated with water was
calculated as log βnb(HL+) = 5.3 ± 0.1. Finally, the stability constants of complexes of some univalent cations with valinomycin were summarized and
discussed. |
