Am. Costero et al., MACROLACTONES AND CROWN-ETHERS DERIVED FROM BIPHENYL - ELECTRONIC ANDSTERIC INFLUENCE OF SUBSTITUENTS ON ITS COMPLEXATION ABILITY, Tetrahedron, 52(10), 1996, pp. 3683-3692
Electronic effects as well as steric hindrance must be considered in o
rder to compare the ability of macrolactones and crown ethers for comp
lexing alkali cations and Hg(SCN)(2).
