Abstract

The exchange extraction constants corresponding to the general equilibrium C+(aq) + 1·Cs+(nb) ⇔ 1·C+ (nb) + Cs+(aq) occurring in the two-phase water–nitrobenzene system (C+ = protonated α-amino acid methyl ester, 1 = hexaethyl p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene hexaacetate; aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) were evaluated on the basis of extraction experiments and γ-activity measurements. Further, the stability constants of the 1·C+ cationic complex species in nitrobenzene saturated with water were calculated; they were found to increase in the following cation order: protonated l-tryptophan methyl ester < protonated l-phenylalanine methyl ester < protonated l-leucine methyl ester < protonated l-methionine methyl ester < protonated l-valine methyl ester.
