Abstract:
The title compounds were prepared in good yields by Slagel's method. All compounds obtained were used as agents for liquid-liquid extraction. They showed high affinity for certain heavy metal cations and their extractability depended to a great extent on the ligand structure. This dependence is believed to be due to the chelation of the metal cations between the imino nitrogens and the additional ligating site.
