Abstract
New types of ligands for spherical ions have been designed as part of the molecular design strategy for supramolecular compounds. In particular, symmetric conformers of macrocycles, built of −(CH2)n−O−(n=3,4,5) fragments, which envelope the spherical ion in a complementary way, have been constructed. Alos, new types of “bracelentands” with different, “hardening” fragments are suggested. Using the molecular mechanics methods, the selectivity of complex formation of the ligands with respect to alkaline metal ions has been investigated.
