چکیده

A ditopic salt receptor that is known to bind and extract solid NaCl, KCl, NaBr, and KBr into organic solution as their contact ion pairs is now shown by NMR and X-ray crystallography to bind and extract solid LiCl and LiBr as water-separated ion pairs. The receptor can transport these salts from an aqueous phase through a liquid organic membrane with a cation selectivity of K+ > Na+ > Li+. However, the selectivity order is strongly reversed when the receptor extracts solid alkali metal chlorides and bromides into organic solution. For a three-component mixture of solid LiCl, NaCl, and KCl, the ratio of salts extracted and complexed to the receptor in CDCl3 was 94:4:2, respectively. The same strong lithium selectivity was also observed in the case of a three-component mixture of solid LiBr, NaBr, and KBr where the ratio of extracted salts was 92:5:3. This observation is attributed to the unusually high solubility of lithium salts in organic solvents. The study suggests that ditopic receptors with an ability to extract solid salts as associated ion pairs may have application in separation processes.

Transport of alkali halides through a liquid organic membrane containing a ditopic salt-binding receptor.

A ditopic receptor is shown to have an impressive ability to recognize and extract the ion pairs of various alkali halides into organic solution. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the salts are bound in the solid state as contact ion pairs. Transport experiments, using a supported liquid membrane and high salt concentration in the source phase, show that the ditopic receptor can transpo...

A Macrobicyclic Receptor with Versatile Recognition Properties: Simultaneous Binding of an Ion Pair and Selective Complexation of Dimethylsulfoxide

A bicyclic receptor was synthesized and evaluated for its ability to bind alkali halide salts and polar neutral molecules in organic solvents. The receptor design is relatively straightforward in the sense that it is a combination of a dibenzo-18-crown-6 and a bridging 1,3-phenyldicarboxamide. In the presence of 1 mol equiv of metal cation, chloride affinities are enhanced in the order: K+ (9-f...

Lithium-selective phosphine oxide-based ditopic receptors show enhanced halide binding upon alkali metal ion coordination.

Previous work on a ditopic receptor based on a tripodal phosphine oxide core demonstrated preferential enhancement of bromide binding over chloride or iodide in the presence of lithium cation. Current studies on an elongated receptor provide evidence that preferential bromide binding enhancement in the presence of lithium cation is common to this receptor class in general, and that lengthening ...

Molecular recognition of alkylammonium contact ion-pairs using a ditopic receptor.

A ditopic, macrobicyclic receptor with adjacent anion and cation binding sites is able to distinguish between various monoalkylammonium salts by binding them as contact ion-pairs. The affinity for linear n-propylammonium chloride is at least 2 orders of magnitude greater than that for n-propylammonium acetate, n-propylammonium p-toluenesulfonate, and branched isopropylammonium chloride. An X-ra...

Lithium cation enhances anion binding in a tripodal phosphine oxide-based ditopic receptor.

A tripodal ditopic receptor presents H-bond donors and a phosphine oxide to potential guests. In the idealized binding conformation, an endohedral P=O functionality provides enhanced halide binding in the presence of lithium with the greatest ΔΔG° observed for bromide, while minimal changes in K(a) are observed in the presence of sodium.
