synthesis and cation selectivity of 25, 27, dipropoxy-26, 28, di-propoxy 5, 11, 17, 23, ptert-butyl calix[4]arene are studied in acetonitrile solution. the stability constants of differentcomplexes of calixarene (as a ligand) with alkali metal cations are determined at 25 °c by usingspectrophotometric technique.on the basis of calculations, complexation of calixarene with cs+and li+ are more fa...
