Abstrakt: The actual constants of the overall extraction equilibrium, the distribution for various organic solvents having low dielectric constants, and the aqueous ion-pair formation (KMLA) of 18-crown-6 (18C6)-alkali metal (Li - Cs) picrate 1:1:1 complexes were determined at 25°C; the partition constants of 18C6 were also measured at 25°C. The log KMLAvalues are 2.53±0.21 for Li, 3.29±0.23 for Na, 4.76±0.27 for K, 4.62±0.36 for Rb, and 4.49±0.36 for Cs. The relatively large difference in the log KMLAvalue between light (Li, Na) and heavy alkali metals (K, Rb, Cs) reflects the difference in the structure of the 18C6-alkali metal ion 1:1 complex between light and heavy alkali metals. Almost all of the partition behavior of 18C6 and its 1:1:1 complexes with alkali metal picrates can be explained by regular solution theory. The molar volumes and solubility parameters of 18C6 and the complexes were determined. For every diluent, the extraction-selectivity order of 18C6 is K > Rb > Cs > Na > Li. The extraction-ability and -selectivity of 18C6 for the alkali metal ion were completely elucidated in terms of the four fundamental equilibria.
