From a study of the partitioning of the carrier-free radioisotopes Tm170, Ce144, Eu152/154, Tb160, Lu177, and Y91 between nitric acid and organic solutions containing various proportions of thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and dialkyl alkyl phosphonates (S) in odorless kerosene, concentration equilibrium constants (k2) have been computed for the reaction[Formula: see text]where M represents a metal ion, and "w" and "o" are aqueous and organic species respectively.When used in conjunction with the data of Bronaugh and Suttle, the equilibrium constants determined in this study yielded comparative equilibrium constants (k3) for the solvation process [Formula: see text]for the rare-earth metals listed.In the extraction of Sc46, however, the species extracted is dependent on the alkyl groups of the phosphonates, the butyl and 2-ethylhexyl derivatives giving mono- and di-solvates respectively.It is concluded that steric effects are dominant in these synergic systems.

Most of the commonly used Ionic Liquids (ILs) contain bulky organic cations with suitable anions. With our COMPLET (Concept of Melting Point Lowering due to Ethoxylation), we follow a different approach. We use simple, low-toxic, cheap, and commercially available anions of the type Cx(EO)yCH2COO– to liquefy presumably any simple metal ion, independently of its charge. In the simplest case, the cation can be sodium or lithium, but synthesis of Ionic Liquids is also possible with cations of higher valences such as transition or rare earth metals. Anions with longer alkyl chains are surface active and form surface active ionic liquids (SAILs), which combine properties of ionic and nonionic surfactants at room temperature. They show significant structuring even in their pure state, i.e., in the absence of water or any other added solvent. This approach offers new application domains that go far beyond the common real or hypothetical use of classical Ionic Liquids. Possible applications include the separation of rare earth metals, the use as interesting media for metal catalysis, or the synthesis of completely new materials (for example, in analogy to metal organic frameworks).
