It was determined that the diprotonated form of 2,8,12,18-tetramethyl-3,7,13,17-tetrabutyl- H 21, H 23-porphine ( H 4III2+) acts as a bromide selective receptor. It forms stable complexes H 4III2+( CH 3 CN )( Br −) ( log K d1 = 5.50 ± 0.03), H 4III2+( Br −)2 ( log K d2 = 3.25 ± 0.03) in the system H 2III-( Et )4 NBr - HClO 4-acetonitrile at 25°C. Spectrophotometric method allows to determine the bromide ions' concentration 3 × 10−8 M−1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
