Hydrophilic-Hydrophobic Balance of Bis(octylethylenediamine) Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pd(II) Chlorides in Methanol/Water and Chloroform/Water Systems

摘要

Double-chained bis(N-octylethylenediamine (= OE)) complexes, such as Zn(OE)_2Cl_2, Cd(OE)_2Cl_2, and Pd(OE)_2Cl_2, were prepared and their selective solubilities in water/chloroform and water/methanol solutions were studied. Although all the complexes are poorly soluble in water, they showed clearly different solubilities in the water/organic mixed solvents depending on each amphiphilic character.
