Biphasic photoresponse of membrane potential by crowned spirobenzopyran

A lipophilic spirobenzopyan derivative carrying a crown ether moiety, when incorporated into plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membranes, exhibits anomalous photoinduced changes of membrane potential, which are quite different from those for its corresponding spirobenzopyran derivative containing no crown ether moiety; the potential is increased by fast proton response and then decreased by cation complexion of its crown ether moiety.

The synthesis of bis(benzo-crown ether)s and their incorporation into potassium-selective PVC membrane electrodes

Five bis(benzo-15-crown-5) derivatives connected with different bridge chains were synthesized as neutral carriers in K⁺-selective electrodes. Potassium ion-selective PVC membrane electrodes based on these bis(crown ether)s were prepared using dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and dioctyl phthalate (DOP) as plasticizers of the PVC membrane. The selectivity coefficients (K _M ⁿ⁺:K _K+) for various alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions were measured. The electrodes based on the bis(crown ether)s are more selective for K⁺ than those based on monomeric crown ethers. The selectivity of one of the prepared potassium selective electrodes was higher than that of the electrode based on valinomycin and three of them were stable over a wide pH range.     

Competitive transport of alkali metal ions from aqueous media into toluene solutions of 2-(sym-dibenzo-16-crown-5-oxy)-decanoic acid. A comparative study

Competitive permeation of alkali metal ions from an alkaline source phase into or through a toluene phase facilitated by the lipophilic crown ether carboxylic acid 2-(symdibenzo-16-crown-5-oxy)-decanoic acid is studied in liquid—liquid extraction, bulk liquid membrane transport, and emulsion liquid membrane transport. Most rapid transport was obtained in emulsion liquid membrane experiments. Some differences in selectivity orders for alkali metal permeation were observed for the three separation techniques.

Hyamine 1622 - Selective PVC Membrane Electrodes Based on bis (Crown Ether)s

Abstract

Hyamine 1622 - selective PVC membrane electrodes based on bis (crown ether)s containing the benzo - 18 - crown - 6 moiety were prepared, using o - nitrophenyloctylether (NPOE) or dipentylphthalate (DPP) as the plasticizer of the PVC membrane. Selectivity coefficients for various interfering ions (inorganic and organic cations), were determined by the mixed solution method. The selectivity of the respective electrodes was found to be affected by the kind of plasticizer employed, and NPOE seemed to be a more suitable plasticizer than DPP. The NPOE electrode system based on the bis (crown ether) that has 11 atoms between the two benzo-18-crown-6 moieties offers the advantage of greater selectivity. The electrodes show excellent electrode properties, and the electrode response was stable in a wide pH range.     

Synthesis of lipophilic lariat ethers with pendant N‐(X)sulfonyl carboxamide groups

Synthetic routes to sixteen lipophilic lariat ether N‐(X)sulfonyl carboxamides with X = trifluoromethyl, methyl, phenyl, and p‐nitrophenyl are described. For this new family of proton‐ionizable lariat ethers in which the acidity can be ‘tuned’ by X group variation, the ring size is systematically varied from 12‐crown‐4 to 14‐crown‐4 to 15‐crown‐5 to 18‐crown‐6.     

Thermocontrolling ion permeation through binary component membrane composed of crown ether liquid crystal/PVC

In view of the nature of orderness in structure and the mesomorphism in property of liquid crystal, the function of which is further exploited by integrating it with the feature of crown ether. The monoarmed crown ether liquid crystals are successfully applied to the imitation of biomembrane transport. Binary component membrane composed of crown ether liquid crystal and PVC was first developed. Such a novel model of biomimetic membrane is capable of imitating ingeniously the thermocontrolling transport of biomembrane, thus the essential function of liquid crystal in membane transport is more fully exploited. It was suggested, consequently, that the molecules of the crown ether liquid crystal could assemble themselves to form ionic channels, as they exist in mesophase.Of still more significance is that the thermocontrolling transport of ions through the membrane is found to be operative selectively and the permeation of ion is under the direct influence of the thermal turmoil of the crown ether liquid cr     

Potassium-selective PVC membrane electrodes based on bis- and poly(crown ether)s

Potassium-selective PVC membrane electrodes based on bis- and poly (crown ether)s containing benzo-15-crown-5 moiety as neutral carrier were prepared and selectivity coefficients for various monovalent ions were measured in order to elucidate the effect of complexing property of these crown ether derivatives on the electrode response. In the preference for potassium over sodium of the electrodes, these bis- and poly (crown ether)s were found to exceed the corresponding monocyclic crown ether considerably, which reflects the easy complexation of stable 2:1 complexes of crown ether ring and ion, derived from the cooperative effect of two adjacent crown ether rings.     

Synthesis of lipophilic crown ethers with pendant phosphonic acid or phosphonic acid monoethyl ester groups

Synthetic routes to fifteen lipophilic crown ether phosphonic acid monoethyl esters and nine lipophilic crown ether phosphonic acids are described. For both classes of crown ethers which have pendant, protonionizable groups, the crown ether ring sizes are systematically varied from 12-crown-4 and 24-crown-8.     

Recoordination of a metal ion in the cavity of a crown compound: a theoretical study. 1. Conformers of arylazacrown ethers and their complexes with Ca2+ cation

Photoinduced recoordination of Ca²⁺ complexes of the photochromic azacrown ethers is studied by the density functional method. The study included model arylazacrown ethers containing various acceptor groups in the aromatic ring in the para position to the azacrown ether moiety and a real azacrown-containing styryl dye. It is found that both free azacrown ethers and their complexes can adopt two types of conformations: (1) axial conformations, in which the aromatic ring axis passing through the crown ether nitrogen N_cr and the opposite atom of the aromatic ring is perpendicular to the root-mean-square (RMS) plane of the crown ether (least-squares fitted plane for all the crown ether atoms), and (2) equatorial conformations, in which the aromatic ring axis only slightly deflects from the RMS plane of the crown ether. In the equatorial conformers, the metal cation is coordinated only to the O atoms of the azacrown ether cycle, the metal—nitrogen bond is broken, and N_cr is conjugated with the aromatic ring. In the axial conformers, the metal cation is additionally coordinated to N_cr. It is found that the presence of an acceptor group bearing a formal positive charge decreases the relative energy of the equatorial conformer and favors metal—nitrogen bond dissociation, which results in the recoordination of the metal cation. However, a long distance between the charged group and N_cr has the reverse effect. The photoinduced recoordination observed in the alkaline-earth metal complexes of the photochromic azacrown ethers is explained by the transitions between the axial and equatorial conformers facilitated by the charge transfer in the excited state of the complex.     

Preparation of crown compounds containing allyloxymethyl or butenyl groups for attachment to silica gel or containing long chain lipophilic groups for use in liquid membrane systems

Several new macrocyclic polyether ligands have been prepared for use in the separation of metal ions from aqueous solutions. Four of the crown ethers reported contain 1,2,4-triazole or 4-pyridone protonionizable subcyclic units and lipophilic groups. The remaining crown ethers are not proton-ionizable but contain alkene groups and were prepared for attachment to silica gel. The crowns were prepared by reacting the appropriate glycols with the appropriate ditosylates or dichloride in the case of the 1,2,4-triazole subcyclic unit. The crowns with proton-ionizable and lipophilic substituents were tested in liquid membrane transport systems and some of the crowns with alloxymethyl or butenyl substituents were attached to silica gel. The log K values for the interaction of these silica gel-bound macrocycles with certain metal ions were nearly the same (± 10%) as those for the association of the unbound macrocycles with the same metal ions.     

Enantiomer-selective membrane electrode for amino acid methyl esters

Polymeric membrane electrodes based on the chiral crown ether, 2,3:4,5-bis-[1,2-(3-phenylnaphtho)]-1,6,9,12,15,18-hexaoxacycloeicosa-2,4-diene, were prepared, and their characteristics were examined. The electrodes showed good enantiomer-selectivity for many amino acid methylesters, the enantiomer-selective factor reaching the high value of 13 for phenylglycine methyl ester. The electrodes responded preferably to the enantiomer forming the more stable complex with the crown ether. The electrodes proved useful for determining the concentrations of each enantiomer. The calculated concentrations from the potential changes of the electrodes were in good agreement with the predicted ones.     

Synthesis and Optical Properties of 2,13‐Dibenzothiazol‐2′‐yldibenzo[b,k]‐18‐crown‐6

A new crown ether of 2,13‐dibenzothiazol‐2′‐yldibenzo[b,k]‐18‐crown‐6 was synthesized from 2,13‐diformyl‐ dibenzo[b,k]‐18‐crown‐6 with 2‐aminothiophenol. The binding behavior and the optical properties of the crown ether were examined through UV‐visible spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. When complexed with Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺ and Cs⁺ ions, it led to intramolecular charge transfer and caused the changes of the fluorescence spectra. The protonation of the crown ether was also studied.     

Optode membrane for continuous measurement of silver ions

An optical sensor (optode) membrane for continuous monitoring of silver ion is presented. It is composed of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), a silver-sensitive chromo-ionophore, and a lipophilic borate salt acting as an anionic site. The membrane selectively responds to silver ion in the concentration range from 50 M to 10 mM, giving a reversible colour change from blue to pink, with response times of the order of 2 min. The acridinium dye acts as both the recognition element and the chromo—ionophore. Its long-wave absorption band is at around 680 nm, which makes it compatible with existing LED light sources and diode lasers. A lipophilic octadecyl side chain renders it highly lipophilic and this prevents its leakage out of the PVC membrane. Hence, the operational lifetime exceeds 1 week, without any changes in the work function.

Synthesis and optical properties of cis‐dibenzothiazolyldibenzo‐24‐crown‐8

New crown ether carrying two fluorionophores of cis‐dibenzothiazolyldibenzo‐24‐crown‐8 was synthesized from cis‐diformyldibenzo‐24‐crown‐8 and 2‐aminobenzenethiol. The binding behavior and the optical properties of the crown ether were examined through UV‐visible spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. When complexed with Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, and Cs⁺ ions, it led to intramolecular charge transfer and caused the changes of the fluorescence spectra. The protonation of the crown ether was also studied. With protonation using CF₃COOH, the absorption bands and the fluorescence spectroscopy changed, the maximal fluorescence wavelengths red shifted and the fluorescence intensity with the maximum at 433 nm enhanced strongly.

Chelate and intramolecular ion-pair formation: A guiding concept for structure/selectivity relationships in the liquid-liquid extraction of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions by anionic crown ether derivatives

Crown ether dyes with pendent anionic side-arms were synthesized for extractionspectrophotometry of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions. Dramatic changes in metal selectivity were obtained simply by changing the nature of the anionic side-arm on the same crown ether skeleton. A structure/metal selectivity relationship is discussed in detail in terms of “chelate” and “intramolecular ion-pair” formation. Small metal cations (high charge density) are preferred in the extraction by a crown ether reagent with a charge-localized anionic side-arm through the formation of a “chelate”. Large metal cations (low charge density) are preferred in the extraction by reagents with a charge-delocalized anionic side-arm through the formation of an “intramolecular ion-pair”. Steric restrictions imposed by the side-arm on the metal ion approaching the crown ether are also important factor in controlling the selectivity of these reagents.     

Bis(Benzo-18-crown-6) Derivatives: Synthesis and Ion-Sensing Properties in Plasticized PVC Membranes

Several mono-and bis(benzo-18-crown-6) ethers comprising o-nitrophenyl urethanemoieties were synthesized and studied as ionophores in PVC membrane electrodes. Thebis(crown ether)s were found to exhibit good potentiometric Cs⁺ selectivity overmono and divalent cations as compared to the respective mono(crown ether)s.     

Conductance studies of salt solutions in the presence of poly(vinylbenzo crown ethers)

The conductance of acetone and methyl ethyl ketone solutions of tetraphenylborate salts in the presence of homopolymers and styrene copolymers of vinylbenzo-15-crown-5 and vinylbenzo-18-crown-6 was studied, and the results compared with data obtained for crown ethers. Polycations are formed on binding cations to the poly(crown ethers), and the conductance behavior of the polyelectrolytes depends on the nature of the cation-crown complex and the spacing between crown moieties which in turn determines the charge density on the polymer chain. The compositions of the crown-cation complexes were determined for crown ethers. The complex formation constants of sodium and potassium cations to poly(vinylbenzo-18-crown-6) were found to change as more cations bind to the chain. This is not the case for the copolymers where the crown ligands are spaced farther apart. A mixture of poly(vinylbenzo-15-crown-5) and 10^?3M potassium tetraphenylborate in methyl ethyl ketone or acetone has a minimum conductance at a crown to cation ratio of 3.0, but the conductance rapidly increases on addition of crown ether. This was used to qualitatively determine the binding efficiency of a series of crown ethers since the rate of increase in the conductance is a measure of the binding ability of the crown ether to the cation.
