Determined extraction constants (log Kex±) using SXLSQI for host-mediated extraction of TBPCl, TBPBr, TBPI, and TBPNO3 from water into nitrobenzene at 25 °Ca.

TBPX Equilibrium Log Kex±
TBPCl TBP+(aq) + Cl(aq) + R(org) ⇌ TBP+(org) + RCl(org) 3.9 ± 0.2
TBP+(aq) + Cl(aq) + 2R(org) ⇌ TBP+(org) + R2Cl(org) 6.7 ± 0.2
TBPBr TBP+(aq) + Br(aq) + R(org) ⇌ TBP+(org) + RBr(org) 4.17 ± 0.06
TBP+(aq) + Br(aq) + 2R(org) ⇌ TBP+(org) + R2Br(org) 7.20 ± 0.07
TBPI TBP+(aq) + I(aq) + R(org) ⇌ TBP+(org) + RI(org) 4.34 ± 0.06
TBPNO3 TBP+(aq) + NO3(aq) + R(org) ⇌ TBP+(org) + RNO3(org) 4.65 ± 0.03

Observed values of DP were taken from Tables S5–S8, yielding the corresponding output values of refined log Kex±. In the fitting of the extraction data for each anion, the corresponding log Kp values were fixed at the values shown in Table 1 to account for the background extraction of TBPX by nitrobenzene alone.
