Phosphorus-containing podands 7. Complexing properties of ortho-diphenylphosphinyl-substituted diphenyl ethers of oligoethylene glycols with respect to alkali-metal cations
摘要:
Stability constants of complexes of alkali-metal cations with oligoethylene glycol diethers RO(CH2CH2O)n(R) (n = 1-5), where R = 2-Ph2P(O)C6H4 and 2-Ph2(O)-4-t-BuC6H3P, have been determined conductometrically in a tetrahydrofuran-chloroform mixture (4:1 by volume). The dependence of complexing ability on a number of monopodand donor centers for Li+ and Na+ has multiple extrema. For K+, Rb+, and Cs+ the complexing abilities steadily increase with the length of the ligand polyether chain. Monopodands based on triethylene glycol and its pyrocatechol analog are highly effective (log K = 6.7-7.0) with respect to Li+. The synthesis of ligands with a lipophilic tert-butyl substituent in the terminal group is described.
