Abstract

The development of neutral ionophores useful in measurements of intracellular as well as extracelluar cation concentrations is a subject of considerable current interest. 1 In general, crown compounds and azacrown compounds constitute important macrocyclic groups in supramolecular chemistry. They have been shown to exhibit important applications including selective ion separation and detection, molecular recognition, catalysis, biological applications as well as many ...
