Ion exchange properties of trialkylammonium salts

Abstract

Two phase acid–base titrations of amines from tributyl to tridodecyl and their salts have been performed for the nitrobenzene–water system. Hydrolysis constants were determined and from these anion-exchange constants were calculated. For these series of salts values of hydrolysis and anion-exchange constants were independent of the amine and strongly influenced by the nature of the anions.
