Investigation on silver complexes of novel 1,2,3-triazole linked crown ethers by NMR analysis

Abstract

The novel derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole linked crown ethers were investigated towards silver(I) ion coordination. The NMR measurements in deuterated methanol in different ratios of ligand and silver cation were studied. The experiments were performed in order to examine the way of binding Ag(I) ion by the selected ligands. The results are presented for complexes with the Ag:L stoichiometry 0.5:1, 1:1 and 2:1, respectively. Depending on the type of crown ether moiety incorporated into the macrocyclic skeleton, interesting differences in the mode of stepwise coordination of the ion were noticed.
