Abstract
Data on the adsorption of kryptates of alkali metals on a mercury electrode are obtained for the first time by a method of the measurement of the differential capacitance as a function of potential and are compared to one another. Shown is that there takes place a deep mutual relationship between the structure of a complex and the regularities of its adsorption. An assumption is put forth about the possibility of adsorption of a free ligand in solutions of lithium kryptate, which possesses relatively low strength. The co-adsorption of sodium kryptate with 1-adamantanol, which forms a two-dimensional condensed layer, is investigated. Established is that the C vs. E curves, obtained in 1 M Na2SO4 at a constant activity of 1-adamantanol and a varying concentration of KryptofixR 222, exhibit two distinctly pronounced portions, each of which corresponds to predominant adsorption of one of the surface-active components. The region of predominant adsorption of KryptofixR 222 expands with its concentration.
