ABSTRACT
A novel tetracarboxylresorcin[4]arene was synthesized and its selective complexing ability towards Pb(II) ions was examined. The influence of several parameters such as pH of aqueous phase, agitation time, extractant and modifier concentrations on solvent extraction of Pb(II) ions from the aqueous nitrate phase into chloroform organic phase was studied. The stoichiometry of the formed metal-ligand complexes was established by slope analysis. Pb(II) ions were quantitatively extracted in the form of 2:1 Pb(II)-resorcin[4]arene complex from aqueous solutions of pH 5.5 to the solution of ligand in chloroform. Competitive solvent extraction experiments in the presence of Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions were also carried out and high selectivity of the extractant towards Pb(II) over Zn(II) and Cd(II) was found. The selectivity order was: Pb(II) >> Cd(II) > Zn(II).
