Lipid-bound macrocycles as new immobilized ligand systems for effective separation of metal cations
Abstract
Lipid-bound macrocycles, prepared by dispersing an aqueous solution of lipophilic polyamine ligand and a vesicle-forming lipid, showed specific binding abilities for transition metal cations., the resulting complex being instantly precipitated by addition of perchlorate anion and easily recovered, as for insoluble immobilized systems.
