The structure of the complex extracted from an aqueous solution containing methylene blue and tetrafluoroborate with 1,2-dichloroethane has been investigated by comparing IR spectrum of the extract with those of pure components and appeared to be an 1 : 1 contact ion-pair between monovalent ions of opposite charge. The extraction constant obtained from the absorbance data measured at 658nm in 1,2-dichlorethane has a value of 1.1${ imes}$at$10^4M{-1}$ 25$^{circ}$C in the range from 1.43${ imes}10^{-2}$ to 2.86${ imes}10^{-1}$M HF. In the solvent extraction with nitrobenzene, the identical experiments show that extraction constants are increased with HF concentration possibly due to dissociation of the ion-pair in nitrobenzene.
