Photoionophores derived from crown ether polycarboxylic acids: synthesis, ion binding, and spectroscopic characterization

Article abstract of DOI:10.1139/v94-158

Three types of potential photoionophores based on polycarboxylic acid crown ethers were prepared, and their cation complexation behaviours and spectroscopic properties were surveyed. The first type were neural macropolycyclic hosts prepared by capping acr
