Abstract

The binding ability of calix[3]carbazole (1) to metal ions has been investigated. It is found that 1 could serve as a non crown ether based, C₃-symmetrical receptor for Ba²⁺ via the marriage of cation-π and cation-dipole interactions. FID assay further illustrates that 1 could selectively interact with Ba²⁺ over Pd²⁺. A possible binding mechanism for [1-Ba²⁺] complex is proposed.

Keywords: Barium ion; C(3)-symmetrical; Carbazole; FID; Receptor.
