Abstract

Six new lipophilic thiacrown ethers ( 1 – 6 ), abbreviated as 2-octyl-9S3, 2-octyl-10S3, 2-octyl-12S4, 6-octyl-14S4, 3-octyl-16S4 and dioctyl-18S6, were synthesized starting from different dithiols and dihalides. Cs 2CO 3 is used for the cyclizations. The extraction behavior of palladium (II) from nitric acid media with these reagents in chloroform has been studied in terms of extraction equilibrium constants K ex. The influence of parameters such as lipophilicity brought by alkyl chains, macrocyclic cavity size and number of sulfur donor atoms on the extraction behavior was investigated.
