Abstract

Abstract The solubilization and selective extraction of lithium salts, in particular lithium chloride, in organic solvents have recently attracted attention due to the application in industry. A heteroditopic receptor 1b, which has ether oxygens and 2 urea moieties as cation and anion recognition sites, respectively, cooperatively associates with LiCl in organic solvents. The selective solid–liquid extraction of LiCl and LiBr was observed by 1H NMR in CDCl3 and MeCN-d3. It is possible to prepare highly concentrated solutions of 1b and LiCl in MeCN up to a concentration of 9.6 M, and these solutions exhibit properties similar to those of ionic liquids.
