AFFINITIES OF CROWN ETHERS, GLYMES, AND POLYAMINES FOR ALKALI PICRATES IN TOLUENE. APPLICATION OF POLYMER-SUPPORTED LINEAR POLYETHERS.

This work reports the measurements of K values for polyamines, glymes, a few glycols (including that of a long-chain polyethylene glycol, carbowax 6000), and some frequently used cation-binding ligands as complexers of lithium or sodium picrate in toluene as solvent. K values for different resins obtained with the same soluble ligand provide a comparison of the effectiveness of these resins in binding ionic solutes.
