title: Several factors influencing the stability of extracted species in synergistic extraction of lanthanide(III) with pivaloyltrifluoroacetone and 2,2'-bipyridyl.
abstract: The stability constants and the hydration number of a complex between tris(pivaloyltrifluoroacetonato)lanthanide(III) (LnA(3)) and 2,2'-bipyridyl (B), LnA(3)B, and the complexation heat were determined across the Ln series by a solvent-extraction technique, Karl Fischer coulometry, and calorimetry, successively. The number of water molecules released from LnA(3) upon the complexation with B as well as the values of the stability constant increased along with increasing Ln atomic number to around Dy(III); via a maximum, it decreased. It is concluded that the largest stability constant of the complex of Ho(III) or this vicinity is derived from the strongest bond energy, due to the fitness between LnA(3) and B. This conclusion was supported by the trend of the variation of the entropy change as well as that of the hydration number across the Ln series.
