The solvent extraction of three selected lanthanoid ions (La 3+ , Eu 3+ , and Lu 3+ ) with HPBI from aqueous nitrate phase into [C 1 C 4 im][Tf 2 N] has been investigated. Application of the ionic liquid as the extracting phase greatly enhanced the extraction performance of HPBI for lanthanoid ions compared with that in the chloroform system. A slope analysis was conducted in order to compare the results of the solution 4f-ion coordination chemistry in ionic and molecular media. The composition of the extracted species was established to be anionic tetrakis entities, Ln(PBI) 4 - , for light, middle, and heavy lanthanoid ions in an ionic environment (Ln denotes lanthanoid ion). Nevertheless, the typical neutral chelate lanthanoid complexes of the type Ln(PBI) 3 have been detected when the conventional molecular diluent chloroform was applied as an organic phase.enArticle
