Proton-ionizable crown compounds. 13. Synthesis and structural studies of crown compounds containing the triazole subcyclic unit and lipophilic substituents†
Presented in part at the Eighth IUPAC Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry, Tokyo, Japan, August 24–29, 1986
Abstract
Eight new macrocyclic polyether ligands containing the proton-ionizable triazole subcyclic unit have been prepared. Most of these compounds contain octyl, benzo or cyclohexano lipophilic groups. The unsubstituted triazolo-18-crown-6 (5) formed an unusual complex with silver ion. The crystal structure of this silver complex showed one crown complexed with one silver cation and two associated silver nitrate molecules. The new lipophilic triazolo-crowns are being tested as cation carriers for alkali and other metal cations in a bulk liquid membrane system.
