Spectroscopic study of azo- and azoxycrowns binding with cations of similar ionic radius [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The complexation of 13- and 16-membered azo- and azoxycrowns with metal cations of similar ionic diameter (Na+ and Ca2+; and K+, Ba2+, Ag+ and Pb2+) was studied by uv/visible spectroscopic titration in acetonitrile and MeOH. In MeOH the 13-membered azo- and azoxycrowns 1 and 2 are weakly and non-selectively bound to hard cations of similar ionic diameter, but different charge (Na+ and Ca2+). At the same time the binding to the soft cation Ag+ of larger size than the macrocycle cavity is considerably stronger. In contrast to solutions in acetonitrile no binding with the small Li+ cation was found. The 16-membered azocrowns 3 and 4 also discriminate silver cation in MeOH with log K = 3.65 +/- 0.1 for both compounds. Unexpectedly low binding with the hard barium divalent cation of similar size (log K = 1.55 +/- 0.4 and 1.95 +/- 0.2, respectively) was found for these compounds. Similarly to 13-membered compounds no binding with the small Li+ cation was detected. A reverse order of selectivity was observed for these crowns in acetonitrile with binding constant for association of 3 with Ba2+ (log K greater than or equal to 5.3) considerably higher than for other cations. The previously observed strong binding with the smaller Li+ and Na+ cations is confirmed.
