The extraction constants (K_) with surfactants having a POE chain of n ≧6 were almost constant for each alkali metal ion. The K_ sequence was Li^+ < Na^+ < Cs^+ ≦ K^+ = Rb^+. The extractability and selectivity largely decreased as n in the surfactant decreased (n < 6). The effect of the POE chain length was related to the stability of the alkali metal-POE complex. Unlike an alkali metal ion, the K_ values for all TAA ions were almost constant with surfactants of n = 2-8. These facts indicated that the surfactant extracts alkali metal ions by both complex formation with its POE chain and ion-pair formation with a terminal p-nitrophenolate anion. On the other hand, TAA ions were extracted simply by ion-pair formation with a p-nitrophenolate anion of the surfactant. The proposed structures are discussed from the viewpoint of the spectrum shift of the extracted species.}, pages = {1165--1169}, title = {Extraction of Alkali Metal Ions and Tetraalkylammonium Ions with Ionic Surfactants Containing a Poly(oxyethylene) Chain}, volume = {73}, year = {2000}, yomi = {サカイ, ユキオ and ヒダカ, タモツ and タカギ, マコト and タカギ, マコト} }
