Synthesis, Molecular Recognition Study and Liquid Membrane-Based Applications of Highly Lipophilic Enantiopure Acridino-Crown Ethers

New highly lipophilic enantiopure crown ethers containing a heterocyclic unit have been synthesized. Phase transport, UV-Vis- and fluorescence spectrophotometric investigations as well as electrochemical studies on the complexation of the new macrocycles with several amine and amino acid derivatives were also carried out. Achiral amines were used for studying the structural preference of the new macrocycles. Among the studied structural features...
