The syntheses and chromogenic properties of three novel chromogenic (p-nitrophenyl)azo-labeled cryptands 1-3, having inward-facing phenolic groups, are described. Cryptand chromoionophore 1 has the smallest cavity of the three cryptands and exhibits total selectivity for Li+ over Na+ ions in 10% aqueous diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGMEE). The association constant of 3200 M-1 was obtained in 10% aqueous DEGMEE/TMA(OH) for the 1-.Li+ complex. Compound 1 is potentially applicable for the colorimetric analysis of lithium ions in largely aqueous solutions. The slightly larger chromoionophore 2, in which diaza-12-crown-4 moiety is connected with the aromatic subunit via three-carbon bridges, is highly selective for Li+ ions in the extraction mode and shows no cation response in homogeneous aqueous media. A larger analog of 1, chromogenic cryptand 3, which incorporates diaza-18-crown-6 moiety, exhibits K+ ion selectivity in aqueous solutions.
