Complex-forming and ion-selective properties of bis(2-diphenylphosphorylalkyl)phenyl ethers of ethylene glycols. Crystal structures of cadmium complexes

Abstract

New complexes of cadmium iodide with 1,3-bis[2-(diphenylphosphoryl)phenoxy]propane [CdL0I2], 1,2-bis[2-(diphenylphosphorylethyl)phenoxy]ethane [CdL1, 2I2], and 1,8-bis[2-(diphenylphosphorylethyl) phenoxy]-3,6-dioxaoctane [CdL3, 2I2] are synthesized and their IR spectra and crystal structures are studied. Electroanalytical characteristics of membranes of ion-selective electrodes based on L0, L1, 2, L3, 2, and known crown ethers are compared for cations of alkali, alkaline-earth, and transition metals. Ligand L3, 2 is the first podand with terminal diphenylphosphoryl fragments to exhibit selectivity with respect to the cadmium cation.
