title: Dual-host approach for liquid-liquid extraction of potassium fluoride/chloride via formation of an integrated 1-D polymeric complex.
abstract: Extraction of KF/KCl from aqueous solution by distinct cationic and anionic receptors is demonstrated. Structural studies of the extracted complexes showed 1D-polymers of the receptors containing respective ions in their cavities.
