Di-ionizable p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-1,2-crown-5 and -crown-6 compounds in the cone conformation: synthesis and alkaline earth metal cation extraction.

Di-ionizable p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-1,2-crown-5 and -crown-6 ethers in the cone conformation were prepared and their conformations and regioselectivities were verified by NMR spectroscopy. The metal ion-complexing properties of these ligands were evaluated by competitive solvent extractions of alkaline earth metal cations from water into chloroform. The ligands were found to be efficient extractants with selectivity for Ba(2+). The maximal loadings were 95-100% as calculated for formation of 1 : 1 ionized ligand-metal ion complexes. With the variation of proton-ionizable groups, which were oxyacetic acid moieties and N-(X)sulfonyl oxyacetamide units with X = methyl, phenyl, 4-nitrophenyl, and trifluoromethyl, "tunable" acidity was obtained.
