In a cryptate complex, the cation is enclosed wholly or partially in a hydrophobic sheath, so that not only are salts of this complexed cation soluble in nonpolar organic solvents but also extractable from aqueous solutions into organic solvents immiscible with water (144). Specific cryptands may be used to selectively complex metals from crude materials or wastes, particularly if they are immobilized on a polymer support (101, 114, 145). [Pg.21]
