Abstract

/S-Diketones are commonly used as extractante in the solvent extraction of many metals. In the elucidation of the mechanism of the extraction process, it is necessary to know the nature of the extractant. It is well known that/?-diketones possess keto-enol tautomerism. Burdett and Rogers1) have determined the percentages of enol tautomere for acetylacetone and several/S-diketones containing the trifluoromethyl group. In a previous paper of this series, ...
