makrocyclische amine complexes for extraction and extraction of a ligand.

摘要

Methods and apparatus for electrochemical extraction of a ligand such as molecular oxygen from a first fluid environment (2) and for release of a ligand such as molecular oxygen, as well as ligand carrier compounds therefor comprising macrocyclic amines having the general formulas: CHEM CHEM where: A, B, C, D, E, and F are each nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or phosphorous; m, n, o, p, q, and r are each typically 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6; the R substituents are each generally H or short chain (linear or branched) alkyl, although R2 may represent ketyl (=o); and M is a suitable transition metal ion.
