Abstract
The systematic variation of the donor atom set in a dibenzo-substituted, 17-membered ring structure on the ability of the resultant systems to discriminate between silver(I) and lead(II) has been performed; the compound containing a S2N2S-donor set yielded discrimination of the order of 109 in favour of silver(I).
