A novel profluorescent paramagnetic diaza-crown ether: synthesis, characterization and alkaline metal-ion complexation

摘要

Starting from Kryptofix 22 two different branches were covalently attached through the nitrogen atoms, one containing a fluorescent moiety and the other the stable free radical TEMPO. The novel derivative exhibits fluorescence and paramagnetic properties, while the diaza-crown part ensures the affinity for alkaline metal-ions.
