Distribution constants of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (Htta) and its Ni(II)and Cu(II) chelates between 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Cn mimTf2N; n = 4, 6, and 8) as ionic liquid (IL) and an aqueous phase were determined. The enol fraction of Htta in ILs was spectrophotometrically measured to calculate the distribution constant of the enol form (KD,HE) of Htta. The KD,HE values in ILs were evaluated by comparing those in various molecular solvents such as alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorohydrocarbons, ethers, ketones, and esters previously reported on the basis of the regular solution theory (RST). It was elucidated that the IL solutions of Htta (enol) can be taken as apparently regular solutions as expected in the organic solvents. On the other hand, the effect of ILs on the distribution constant of metal(II) chelates (KD,M) was fairly complicated. The Cu(tta)2-IL solutions behaved like the alkane and aromatic hydrocarbon solutions but the Ni(tta)2-IL (C4mimTf2N) like ether and ketone solutions. In the Ni(II) case, some specific interactions between the Ni(II) chelate and IL was suggested. Finally, the solubility parameters of ILs were calculated using KD,HE by RST and were in good agreement with the literature values obtained by the enthalpy of vaporization. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
