Segmented sandwich membrane method was used to determine ion-pairing constants for four cationic sites: tris-(2,3,4-dodecyloxy)benzenetrimethylammonium, tris-(2,3,4-dodecyloxy)benzenedimethyloctylammonium, tris-(2,3,4-dodecyloxy)benzenemethyldioctylammonium, and dimethyldioctadecylammonium with chloride, bromide, nitrate, benzene sulfonate, trichloroacetate, thiocyanate, perchlorate and picrate, as well as ion-pairing constants for two anionic sites: tetraphenylborate and tris-(2,3,4-octyloxy)benzenesulfonate with dimedrol, quinine, anapriline, and amantadine cations in poly(vinyl chloride) membranes plasticized with 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether. Ion association constants of anions with quaternary ammonium sites regularly increase from picrate to chloride along with reduction of the anion radius and with improvement of site exchanger center steric accessibility. Ion association constants of amine cations with tris-(2,3,4-octyloxy)benzenesulfonate are several orders higher than those with tetraphenylborate and regularly increase from tertiary amine to primary one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
