Abstract

ABSTRACT To understand the relationship between the structure and function of compounds for the extraction of Pd(II) from HCl solution, we investigated the Pd(II) extraction properties using three sulfide-containing diamides with the same N-substituents, N,Nʹ-dimethyl-N,Nʹ-diphenyl: thiodiglycolamide (mptdga), 3,3ʹ-thiodipropionamide (mptdpa), and 1,2-ethylene-bis(thioglycolamide) (mpebtga) diluted in chloroform. All of the diamides extract Pd(II) from 3.0 M HCl solution much faster than the conventional sulfide extractant, di-n-hexyl sulfide, and the extraction efficiency decreases in the order mpebtga > mptdpa > mptdga. The apparent stoichiometry of the Pd(II)−extractant complex extracted in the organic phase is 1:1 for mpebtga and 1:2 for mptdga and mptdpa. The FT-IR measurements show that the amide oxygen atoms in the diamides do not directly coordinate to Pd(II). These results indicate that the dominant complexes for the three diamides are [PdCl2(mptdga)2], [PdCl2(mptdpa)2], and [PdCl2(mpebtga)] with the sulfide coordinating to Pd(II).
