established.1,2 However, the same and other metal ions can be toxic to life when present at certain concentrations in the environment, water supplies, food chain, and industrial chemicals and products. Consequently, an intensive effort has been devoted to develop various sensory molecular receptors capable of recognizing, sensing, and selectively transporting these positively charged substrates...

An efficient method for the synthesis of new compounds of dibenzo podand containing mixed-donor atom is described. The key starting materials for these podand was successfully prepared in 92% yield from 2aminophenol and benzaldehyde in water. The structures of these new compounds were confirmed on the basis of IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR and Ms spectroscopic data.

work in the synthesis of podand molecules6), the present paper describes the preparation of certain podand-type trimers of cephalosporin antibiotics (Scheme 1 ). As the central block of the target trimers the tricarboxylic acid 3 was employed, which was obtained by the alkylation of phloroglucinol (1) with methyl bromoacetate and subsequent alkaline hydrolysis. The tert-butyl esters of 7-aminoc...

Synthesis of new podands from resorcinarene and diethylene glycols are reported. The binding properties of these podands with alkali metal cations was studied by means of ESI-MS. The experimental results for podands with long diethylene glycol arms show the stable inclusion complexes with one or two metal cations and high affinity for sodium and potassium ions. This podands under appropriate co...

Thiasalen podand 9 having S2N2 donor set has been synthesized by the condensation of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde with ethylenediamine. The reaction of the thiasalen podand ligand with Pd(II) afforded two complexes depending on the reaction time. Shorter reaction time (5 min) afforded thioether complex 10; whereas with increase in reaction time (4 h) thioether-thiolate complex 11 was obtained via c...

The imine podands tris[(2-nitrobenzylidene)aminoethyl]amine and tris[(2-nitrobenzylidene)aminopropyl]amine both stabilize copper(I), forming {tris[(2-nitrobenzylidene)aminoethyl]amine-kappa4N}copper(I) perchlorate acetonitrile disolvate, [Cu(C27H27N7O6)]ClO4.2CH3CN, (II), and {tris[(2-nitrobenzylidene)aminopropyl]amine-kappa4N}copper(I) perchlorate, [Cu(C30H33N7O6)]ClO4, (VI), respectively. The...

[structure: see text] A new type of donor-spacer-acceptor podand system has been synthesized and proved as an efficient dual channel fluorosensor for Li+, Mg2+, and Ca2+. The known ability for the N-oxide function to bind Lewis acids is the key step in the appearance of a new emitting charge-transfer (CT) excited state. The occurrence of this CT state for alkaline earth (Mg2+ and Ca2+) and not ...

The fluorenoazomethine containing chalcogeno podand fluorescent probes having N, O/S/Se coordinating donor unit show donor specific 'turn-on' recognition property towards metals (Cr(III), Fe(II) and Cu(II)), where the fluorescence signals are controlled by the conformational change of the ligand framework on binding with the metal ion.
