Comparison of extraction methods for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon determination in sediments

1990

Different sample preparation methods for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in lake and river sediments were compared and evaluated. Freeze‐dried sediment materials were e...

tert-Butyl-calix[4]arenes Substituted at the Narrow Rim with Cobalt Bis(dicarbollide)(1–) and CMPO Groups – New and Efficient Extractants for Lanthan…

2007

Calix[4]arene derivatives bearing two residues A(–) derived from cobalt bis(dicarbollide)(1–) (1) and two CMPO groups B at their narrow rim were synthesized from tBu-calix[4]arene in four steps. The first step involved the preparation of tBu-calix[4]arene diether derivatives with appropriate precursors for amino groups (mostly nitriles 3). These were O-alkylated through ring-opening reactions with the zwitterionic dioxane derivative [(8-O(CH2CH2)2O-1,2-C2B9H10)-(1′,2′-C2B9H11)-3,3′-Co]0 (10) to produce ionic nitrile derivatives 4. Reduction of the nitrile groups with BH3·SMe2 (or deprotection in the case of the corresponding phthalimido or Boc derivatives 8) led to a series of diamines 5a–f…

Synergistic effect of ligating and ionic functions, prearranged on a calix[4]arene.

The covalent attachment of two CMPO-functions and two anionic Cosan groups to the narrow rim of tert-butylcalix[4]arene leads to a dramatic increase of the extraction efficiency for the cone isomer; Am(3+) is removed from 5 x 10(-8) M solution to more than 99% by a single extraction step with a 3 x 10(-6) M solution of the calixarene.
