Abstract

The cobaltacarborane anion labelled with 60Co was used to study the solvent extraction and stability of its ion associates with a series of organic nitrogen base cations or quaternary salts, some of which are psychoactive. The aqueous phase was 0.1 M HCl, the organic phase was chloroform. The extraction constants of the ion associates were calculated. A method was devised for competitive extraction of ion associates with additional dye anions which are used in the extraction-photometric determination of selected bases.
