LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION OF METALS WITH THE NONCYCLIC TETRATHIOETHER DERIVATIVE

Abstract

A new tetrathioether derivative in which two hydroxy-nitrophenyl groups are introduced as the chromogenic groups, 1, 13-bis-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-2, 5, 9, 12-tetrathiatridecane, has been successfully synthesized and its characteristics as an extracting and spectrophotometric reagent of metals have been examined.
