Abstract

Abstract Ortho-, meta-, and paracyclophane-type thiacrown compounds bearing 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)phenol as a chromogenic group were synthesized, and their characteristics as extractive-spectrophotometric reagents for the class b metals, consisting of soft Lewis acids such as silver and copper(I), were examined. Silver and copper(I) were well extracted into chloroform with all of three reagents, though especially with the metacyclophane-type reagent. The absorption maxima of silver and copper(I) complexes with the orthocyclophane-type reagents are at the longest wavelengths among the three reagents. The orthocyclophane-type reagent is adequate for the extraction and spectrophotometric measurement of copper(I), and the metacyclophane-type reagent is suitable for that of silver. The extraction behavior of copper(II) with these three reagents has been studied in order to know if the hydroxyl group participates in the formation of the metal–thiacrown complexes.
