Abstract

The synthesis of a modular hybrid receptor containing both an aza macrocycle and crown ether is described; a complete thermodynamic characterisation of the binding properties, in water, of the zinc (II) complex of the receptor towards phosphate is presented and the parameters are compared to those of the aza macrocycle precursor.
