Abstract

Proton magneticf resonance spectrometry was applied for evaluation of the distribution ratios and apparent extraction constants of tetraalkylammonium and tetraalkylphosphonium salts in two liquid-phase systems. Triethylbenzyl- and tetrabutylammonium chloride in dichloromethane and chlorobenzene, respectively, were shown to be salted out in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions. 1H-n.m.r. spectrometry was also used to determine the degree of hydration of quaternary onium salts in two-phase systems. The results were compatible with those obtained by the Karl Fischer method.
