Current approaches to lowering the pH of basic media rely on the addition of a proton source. An alternative approach is described herein that involves the liquid-liquid extraction-based removal of cesium salts, specifically CsOH and Cs<sub>2</sub> CO<sub>3</sub> , from highly basic media. A multitopic ion-pair receptor (2) is used that can recognize and extract the hydroxide and carbonate anions as their cesium salts, as confirmed by <sup>1</sup> H NMR spectroscopic titrations, ICP-MS, single-c ...[more]
