Some solvent effects on the solvent extraction of 8-quinolinol.
The distribution constants of 8-quinolinol between water and a series of substituted aliphatic hydrocarbons, at 25 degrees , are reported. The results are discussed in terms of dielectric constant and solubility parameter of the solvents. For 8-quinolinol, and possibly for its chelates, bromochloromethane, dibromomethane and chloroform seem to be about the best solvents, in that order. Among the solvents studied, chloroform shows significantly higher values than expected; the deviation may be explained as a specific interaction of the hydrogen- bonding type.
