Metal picrate binding studies revealed that the crown ether having 1,3-diaxial orientation shows the highest selectivity for binding to lithium although the crown ether having 1,2-diequatorial orientation exhibited the highest binding constant for lithium picrate. These results suggest that relative binding affinity of metal ions to crown ethers can be tuned by varying the relative orientation of crown ether oxygen atoms. The relevance of these results to the previously observed regioselectivity during the O-substitution of myo-inositol orthoesters is discussed. (c) 2606 Elsevier Ltd.

In particular, the binding efficiency of myo-inositol derived crown ethers to silver and potassium ions could be enhanced by introducing benzyl ethers in the inositol ring. Hence binding efficacy and selectivity of metal ions to inositol derived crown ethers can be tuned by varying substituents on the myo-inositol ring and/or the relative orientation of crown ether oxygen atoms.
