S. Boudouche et al., CHIRAL MACROCYCLES .2. TRANSPORT OF AMINO-ACID LI+ SALTS, Journal of inclusion phenomena and molecular recognition in chemistry, 16(1), 1993, pp. 81-89
Complexation of amino acids in both their zwitterionic and Li+ salt fo
rms by macrocycles, and carrier-mediated transport of the Li+ salts th
rough a CH2Cl2 membrane have been investigated: the transport study of
four amino acids by a new series of tetrapyrazolic macrocycles with f
unctionalized sidearms shows wide variations of the transport rates de
pending on both the macrocyclic sidearm and the amino acid structure.
