Vs. Talanov et al., New proton-ionizable, cesium-selective calix[4]arene-bis(crown-6-ethers) with markedly enhanced extraction efficiency, TETRAHEDR L, 41(43), 2000, pp. 8221-8224
The first 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene-bis(crown-6-ethers) with a proton-ion
izable group located in front of one crown ether cavity are synthesized. Co
mpared with an analog that has no proton-ionizable group, the two new ligan
ds possess markedly higher Cs+ extraction efficiency. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sci
