Abstract
Lipophilic quaternary ammonium cations are insoluble in water when paired with any anion except fluoride or hydroxide. This phenomenon is the basis for a novel method for total anion determination. Tetra-n-octylammonium fluoride (TOAF) is used for the direct titration of any anion or mixture of anions with the exception of hydroxide. Anions for which no direct analytical method exists, e.g., nitrate or hydrogenfluoride (HF2-), are simply assayed by conductimetric titration with TOAF reagent.
