The Synthesis, Characterization, and Testing of a Reagent for the Selective Removal of Dichromate and Perchlorate from Aqueous Solution

Abstract

N-4-Vinylbenzyl-N'-benzyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane was synthesized and tested to determine its ability to selectively precipitate anions. Fifty-one common anions were tested. The reagent reacted only with nine: dichromate, dithionate, ferricyanide, tetrafluoroborate, iodide, nitroferricyanide, perchlorate, persulfate, and picrate.
