The efficiency as carriers for the alkali and the alkaline earth ions across monoolein bilayers of three macrocyclic compounds has been investigated by conductometric measurements. The results show that although the three compounds have the optimum cavity size for fitting potassium and barium cations, their efficiency in ionic transport is quite different. These discrepancies are rationalized on the basis of the overlap of the water-diazacrown and cation-ligand interactions on the carrier mechanism.
