Abstract

The synthesis and complexive abilities of 5,11,17-tris(tert-butyl)-23 amino-25,26,27,28-tetra-propoxycalix[4]arene towards alkali cations Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+ and alkali earth cations Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+ in methanol-chloroform mixture have been evaluated at 25°C, using UV-Vis spectrophotometric techniques. The results showed that the ligand is capable to complex with all the cations by 1: 1 metal to ligand ratios. The selectivity presented considering the calculated formation constants are in the order Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+ and Mg2+ > Ca2+ > Sr2+ > Ba2+ with the ligand.
