Abstract

β-Octafluoro-meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole (1) and β-decafluoro-meso-decamethylcalix[5]pyrrole (2) were found to extract caesium salts of smaller anions (bromide and chloride for 1 and nitrate for 2) as effectively as that of iodide into nitrobenzene (NB) thereby overcoming the Hofmeister bias normally observed for processes of this type.
