4,4′-bis(dimethylamino)biphenyl containing binding sites. A newfluorescent subunit for cation sensing
2002
The emission behaviour of the 4,4′-bis(dimethylamino)biphenyl subunit covalently attached to aza-crown ethers is studied. Some new ligands have been synthesised in order to test the properties of this new fluorophore. The fluorescence of these new ligands and some other compounds previously described has been studied in acetonitrile in the presence of Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, Cd2+ and also in the presence of some alkali and alkaline-earth cations.
Synthesis, solution and electrochemical behaviour of new aza-crown ethers derived from biphenyl
2000
Macrocyclic ligands L1–L4 containing biphenyl units have been synthesized. Potentiometric and voltametric studies in the presence and the absence of transition metal cations have been carried out. The relationship between the conformation of the ligand and oxidation states has been also considered. The crystal structure of [HgL2(CN)2]·2Hg(CN)2 has been elucidated by X-ray diffraction techniques.
Bis-cyclic Crown Ether Derived from Biphenyl. Different Behaviour in Complexing Hg(SCN)2 and Hg(CN)2
1998
Abstract A new bis-cyclic crown ether containing a biphenyl unit in its structure has been prepared. This compound shows unexpected behaviour in complexing Hg(CN)2. The new ligand transports this mercury salt across liquid membranes with great efficiency. Clear differences have been observed in the complexation of Hg(CN)2 and Hg(SCN)2. The X-ray structure of a 1:2 mercury complex with Hg(SCN)2 is also reported.
