Four new fluorescent macrocyclic ligands derived from biphenyl are described. The new compounds have been used in liquid–liquid extraction experiments and the influence of pH has been studied in those ligands containing carboxylic groups. The results obtained for the latter ligands have been compared with those observed in the presence of an external acid.
The Zn2+ and Cd2+ complexing properties of four ligands containing a 4,4′-substituted biphenyl moiety are described. Ligands 1 and 3, containing only one 1-aza-18-crown-6 cavity, lead to selective complexation of Cd2+ versus Zn2+. Ligand 4, with two crown cavities linked to a tetramethylbenzidine unit, is able to form 1:1 complexes with Zn2+ and Cd2+, showing a higher complexing constant with Zn2+...
