Rational ligand design for metal ion recognition. Synthesis of a N-benzylated N2S3-donor macrocycle for enhanced silver(I) discrimination

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/b613636m

The design and synthesis of the dibenzyl-N-substituted, 17-membered ring was carried out on the basis of four previously documented ligand design strategies for achieving Ag(I) discrimination was studied. Macrocycle was prepared by direct N-benzylation of
