Abstract

The extraction of non-ferrous metal (M2+) nitrates by the calix[4,6]arenes (L), bearing four or six phosphine oxide donor groups at the upper or at the lower rim, was quantitatively described in the form of [Mn(NO3)2nL] (n = 1, 2) complexes. The extraction constants (Zn2+ > Cu2+ > Co2+ > Ni2+) for the both types of L coincide with Irving-Williams sequence. Calix[4]arenes, phosphorylated at the lower (narrow) rim, provide better stability of ML complexes because of the best spatial fitting of M2+ by the donor groups. For the upper (wide) rim phosphorylated calix[4]arenes M2L and ML2 complexes are more stable. Unusual zwitterionic [Co2(NO3)4L] complex of the lower rim tetraphosphorylated calix[4]arene 1 was determined by X-ray structural analysis.
