| Abstract | Macrocyclic compounds with liquid crystal properties show an interesting potential for sensor design as phase transitions can be seen on complexation with metal ions. In this work some novel macrocyclic compounds with side chains that could show liquid crystalline properties were investigated. Selectivity was investigated by solvent extraction of metal picrate salts. Chloroform was used as the solvent and the extraction method was validated with dibenzo-18-crown-6. Extraction values were calculated from analysis of the aqueous phase for the metals ions by ICP-AES, because high values were obtained with the spectrophotometric method due to the extraction of picric acid. No extraction was seen for the long chain liquid crystalline macrocycles and this was investigated further by molecular modelling. Minimized molecular models of the macrocycles showed that the side chains wrapped around the cavity (1.510 Å radius), suggesting that complexation might be sterically hindered. A short chain macrocycle was then modelled and in this case there appeared to be more favourable access to the cavity. Extraction experiments were then carried out with the short chain macrocycle for potassium, silver and sodium picrate resulting in statistically significant extraction values of 9, 5 and 3%, respectively. The selectivity in extraction could be related to the cavity size, with the best extraction being for the largest metal ion. Immobilization of the liquid crystal macrocycles in an elastomer is suggested as a way of overcoming the steric hindrance. Molecular modelling is shown to be a useful tool for designing novel compounds for sensor design. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
