| Abstract: | Two constitutional isomers of dibenzo-18-crown-6 derivatives (6 and 7) were synthesised and their binding behaviours towards trivalent lanthanoid cations (La3 + , Ce3 + , Pr3 + , Nd3 + , Sm3 + , Eu3 + , Gd3 + and Tb3 + ) were investigated. Both isomers expressed better binding affinities towards Sm3 + and Tb3 + than a group of other lanthanoids, as measured by the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) band intensity at ca. 425 nm using UV–vis spectroscopic method. Additionally, the trans isomer 7 was shown to have a higher binding ability than the cis isomer 6 towards Tb3 + .  | |
