Abstract
The evolution of lariat ethers from relatively simple, substituted crown ethers into electrochemically sensitive ligands is presented. Although nitrogen-pivot lariats were observed to be better binders than the corresponding parent crowns and to retain considerable flexibility after complexation, overall stability constants were not favorable for cation transport applications. This led to the syntheses of nitrobenzene- and anthraquinone-substituted systems capable of reversible redox behavior and drastically enhanced cation binding abilities when reduced. Application of these in enhanced cation transport processes has been demonstrated.
