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.

The metal ions which were specifically and strongly complexed to the amino functions of chitosans, like Hg, showed smooth surface morphology inspite of large number of ions complexed (372 mg/g of chitosan). The presence of metal ions on the surface of the chitosans could be detected with decrease in metal ion binding, in the following sequence Hg &amp;gt; Cu &amp;gt; Cd &amp;gt; Zn &amp;gt; Pb &amp;gt; Mn. Particularly in the case of Pb ions, the presence of these ions is clearly seen on the surface of the polymer by SEM. The number of ions of Mn complexed on the polymers was too few (5 mg/g of chitosan) to be visible. SEM of Hg and Cu complexes do not show the ``holes'' observed in the crosslinked polymers as they bind specifically to amino groups of chitosan, but for Cd, Zn, Mn, and Pb complexes, these ``holes'' are clearly visible. These results are also in agreement with the morphologies studied by WAXRD. The metal complexation data for each of these metal ions was also in the same sequence. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
