Abstract
The lipophilic dicarboxylic acid-dicarboxamide macrocycle 1 is an efficient carrier for calcium and potassium transport through a liquid membrane. The process involves competitive Ca2+/K+ symport coupled to proton antiport in a pH gradient. It presents a very pronounced phenomenon of pH regulation of transport selectivity from preferential K+ transport to preferential Ca2+ transport as the pH increases from 2 to 9 in the starting aqueous phase containing the metal ions. The results demonstrate how carrier design allows control of the rate and selectivity of divalent/monovalent M2+/M+ cation transport.
