Abstract :
In the present study, an investigation on the complex formation between mono- and
divalent metal ions (Na+, K+, Li+ and Mg2+) in the form of salt with different podands
using various solvents has been carried out. Isolated complexes were characterized by
different spectroscopic techniques viz. IR, NMR and elemental analysis. On the basis of
the obtained data, it was observed that number of donor sites, ionic potential, size fit
concept in pseudocyclic cavity etc. are the deciding factors for complexation which
make it differ between solid and solution complexation using ionophores.
