Description

Tetrafunctionalized resorcinarene cavitands (4, 5, and 6) have been synthesized starting from tetrakis(bromomethyl)cavitand 3. New cavitand-based cation ligands with carbomoylmethylphoshinate (CMP) and -phosphine oxide (CMPO) moieties (8a,b and 9a,b) were prepared via two different routes in good (45-86%) overall yields. The ligands (8a,b and 9b) are very effective europium extractants. Ph2CMPO-N(Pr)-cavitand 8b has the highest extraction constant determined with radio tracer experiments, for 1:1 complexation with Eu(picrate)3 (Kex1=2.7x1012 M-4). The steric pre-organization of the four CMP(O) moieties on the resorcinarene cavitand improves the efficiency and selectivity [of Eu(III) over UO2(II) and Fe(III)[ of the metal extraction processes, compared to simple CMP(O) extractants.
