The coextraction of water with benzo-15-crown-5 (B1SC5), benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) and the B18C6-K+ complex into seven low-polar solvents, i.e., carbon tetrachloride (CTC), chloroform (CF), dichloromethane (DCM), 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE), benzene (BZ), chlorobenzene (CB) and o-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB), has been investigated. The mean hydration number, nH2O, of these solutes in the water-satur...

Calix[4]-bis-2,3-naphtho-crown-6 can be used to discriminate between methylammonium and other organic ammonium ions. An electrode based on this ionophore, potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate (20 mol% relative to the ionophore) as an ionic additive and bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate as a solvent mediator in a poly(vinyl chloride) membrane matrix, displayed higher selectivity for methylammonium ...

The novel 4'-(ammoniummethylene)benzo-18-crown-6 cation was synthesized as a hexafluorophosphate salt and found to exist as a cyclophane-like dimer in the solid state, gas phase and in acetonitrile solution.

Studies of genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of nitro aromatic hydrocarbons focus on their high mutagenicity for bacteria and mammalian cells. Nitrobenzo[a]pyrenes (NBPs) and related nitroazaarenes also are extraordinarily mutagenic. 3-Nitro-6-azabenzo[a]pyren-N-oxide was found to be a more potent mutagen than 1,8-dinitropyrene. Mutagenicity of NBPs was associated with the position of substituti...

The mobility of coordinated methanol in the complex [Co(II)(Benzo[ 15]crown-5)(CH3OH)2] + was studied in nitromethane. The methanol exchange mechanism tends to an associative nature with an increasing amount of methanol in the solutions as can be deduced from the activation entropy. All activation data can be combined in an isokinetic relationship which is also valid for the respective complex ...

The complexation reactions between Tl+ and Pb2+ ions and crown ethers 12-crown-4(12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C5), benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5), 18-crown-6 (18C6), dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DC18C6) and aza-18-crown-6 (A18C6) were studied in 90% acetonitrile and 90% ethanol solutions at 25 °C, using an a.c. polarographic technique. The stoichiometry and stability of the complexes we...

In this article, a six-component self-sorting process that involves three types of crown ether macrocycle and three types of cation guest molecule was carefully and thoroughly investigated. The six components include three kinds of crown ether, namely bis(p-phenylene-34-crown-10) (BPP34C10), dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) and benzo-21-crown-7 (B21C7), and their corresponding cation guest molecules...

The quantitative analysis and identification of the radiolytic products of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6), 4',4''(5'')-di-tert-butyldicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DtBuCH18C6) and benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([C4mim][NTf2]) ionic liquid after irradiation were performed for the first time. It was found that the yield for radiolytic des...
