Rational ligand design for metal ion recognition. Synthesis of a N-benzylated N2S3-donor macrocycle for enhanced silver(I) discrimination

Dalton Trans. 2006 Nov 21:(43):5115-7. doi: 10.1039/b613636m. Epub 2006 Sep 29.

Abstract

Four previously documented ligand design strategies for achieving Ag(I) discrimination have been applied to the design of a new N-benzylated N2S3-donor macrocycle; the latter shows high selectivity for Ag(I) over Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) in log K and bulk membrane transport studies.
