Abstract: | A di-ionizable p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-1,3-thiacrown-5 ether extractant was synthesized. Its cone conformation and polyether ring attachment regioselectivity were verified by NMR spectroscopy. The metal ion-complexing properties of this ligand were evaluated by solvent extractions of metal cations from aqueous solutions into chloroform. The ligand was found to be an efficient extractant with Ba2+ selectivity in competitive solvent extraction of alkaline earth metal cations. It also exhibits high extraction ability for Pb2+ and for Hg2+ in single species solvent extractions. |
