Abstract
Concave 1,10-phenanthrolines 1 are selective and efficient carrier molecules for membrane transport of copper(II) and lead(II) ions. With competitive membrane transport experiments the selectivity patterns of three concave 1,10-phenanthroline membrane carriers have been determined. Measurements with copper(II) and lead(II) nitrates confirmed the predicted selectivities and revealed high transport rates for 1a and 1b. While 1b shows a high preference for copper(II) nitrate, 1a transports lead and copper nitrates equally well, but with much higher flux. In bulk liquid membranes, the carrier mediated ion flux remained constant over an extended period, whereas it decreased significantly in reused supported liquid membranes, which indicates rapid loss of carrier from the membrane under these conditions.
