Over the past several decades, the theme of supramolecular
chemistry (SC) has permeated nearly all aspects of chemical
endeavor. Not surprisingly, it has also pervaded the field of
solvent extraction (SX), inspiring the framework for this volume of
Ion Exchange and Solvent Extraction. In addition, tools for
studying aggregation have grown increasingly sophisticated, leading
to a greater understanding of what we now recognize as SC phenomena
in SX. Volume 21, Supramolecular Aspects of Solvent Extraction
identifies how supramolecular behavior occurs and is studied in the
context of SX and how SC is influencing the direction of SX.
With contributions by internationally recognized specialists from
different fields, this volume examines how principles of SC are
being used in advancing the design of new highly selective SX
systems and for understanding aggregation phenomena in SX systems.
The book begins with a discussion of the nature and definition of
SC and its general use in the design of novel SX reagents. Chapter
2 expands the subject of ion-pair recognition to introduce
outer-sphere recognition of metal complexes.
Chapter 3 reviews the literature on calixarenes as extraction
reagents for metal ions. Chapter 4 extends the utility of this
chemistry, describing the use of calixarenes for the extraction of
biomolecules. Chapter 5 examines the liquid liquid interface as an
expression of supramolecular phenomena in SX, reviewing interfacial
aggregation in model two-phase systems and metal extraction
systems. The final chapter explores the problem of aggregation in
SX, the historical attempts to understand it, and recent progress
that has been made in addressing the issue.
