Abstract:Three novel dibenzo-18-crown-6 aldimines were successfully synthesised and structurally characterised via various spectroscopic methods (1H,13H NMR, FT-IR) and their solution phase lead binding behaviours probed via absorption spectroscopy, the results are supported by Density Functional Theoretical (DFT) modelling. These methods revealed that the asymmetric nature of these compounds is such that at equilibrium the ether cavity adopts an open configuration where the constituent oxygen atoms exhibit a highly ne… Show more
