Distribution of the reagent and complex:
After having assumed the formation of extractable complex, the next step will be to look into the distribution of the reagent and complex.
Polymerization of ion pair in the ether phase
It was denoted earlier within the beginning of the discussion on this system that at higher iron (III) concentration, the extracting ion pair complex undergoes polymerization in the organic phase.
where n varies from 2- 4.
