摘要:
Two new unsymmetrical tetradentate macrocycles, incorporating sp(2) and sp(3) nitrogens as donor sites and with donor group-bearing side arms attached to the sp(3) nitrogen atoms, L-a and L-b, and their complexes with different kinds of metal cations such as Na+, Cu2+, Co2+ Ni2+, Hg2+ and Cd2+ were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. Both ligands can transport efficiently alkali and transition metal cations across an organic membrane with high transport selectivity ratio, especially in the case of Na+/K+ selectivity for L-a and Hg2+/Ni2+ selectivity for L-b. Studies on the complex promoted cleavage of bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)phosphate(BDNPP) indicated that CuLb was more efficient for accelerating hydrolysis of phosphate diester than CuLa.
