Abstract

Abstract: In an effort to devise synthetic cation binders that will mimic the behavior of naturally occurring ionophores such as valinomycin, we have prepared approximately 30 macrocylic (crown) polyethers bearing flexible side chains attached to the macro ring at carbon. In many of these “carbon-pivot” compounds, the side chain contains one or more neutral donor groups that, if in a suitable geometrical arrangement, may provide additional ...
