Synthesis, characterization, and metal extraction studies of a new macrobicyclic ligand
Synthesis, characterization, and metal extraction studies of a new macrobicyclic ligand
This article describes the synthesis, characterization, and metal ion binding properties of a new macrobicyclic ligand. Solvent extraction experiments were performed in order to determine the extraction behavior of new macrobicyclic ligand towards selected metal cations. Selective extraction of heavy metals and precious metals is highly demanded due to their toxicity and commercial importance.
