Abstract

Incorporation of a dianionic binding site for transition metal cations and a dicationic binding site for anions into a lipophilic molecule has produced a ligand with a high efficacy for the solvent extraction of a transition metal salt [M2+X2–].

  5. When 1 was treated with nickel(II) acetate in methanol the neutral complex [Ni(1– 2H)] was formed which has been characterised crystallographically. The ability to isolate neutral complexes containing either a metal salt, e.g.[Ni(1)SO4]or the metal cation alone e.g.[Ni(1– 2H)] is a special feature of these ditopic ligands and depends on the pH of solution or the basicity of the conjugate anion. Complete details will be reported in a full paper.

A preliminary X-ray structure of the free ligand shows that in the solid state the torsion around the ethylene linker group places the chelating units in a trans configuration and it is therefore not predisposed for complexation.
