Abstract
Hybrids of methylenediphosphonotetrathioate and crown-ether (MDPT-CE) were synthesized forming 7-,8-,9-,10- and 13-membered rings. Both 7- and 13-membered ring-containing compounds were found to be highly stable to air-oxidation for at least four weeks. These hybrids bind Zn(ii) by both MDPT and CE moieties, forming a 2 : 1 L : Zn(ii) complex. Interestingly, the 13-membered ring MDPT-CE showing a high affinity to Zn(ii) (Ka 3 ± 0.5 × 106 mol-2 L2) does not bind Li(i) or Na(i). The 13-Membered MDPT-CE hybrid is a promising water-soluble, air-stable, high-affinity Zn(ii)-chelator, exhibiting selectivity to Zn(ii) vs. Mg(ii), Na(i), and Li(i).
