Abstract

A new 2,6-diamidopyridinedipyrromethane hybrid macrocycle (1) has been synthesized that shows a high selectivity for dihydrogen phosphate and hydrogen sulfate relative to nitrate in acetonitrile solution as judged from UV-vis spectrophotometric titrations; this leads to the suggestion that this or related systems might find use in nuclear waste remediation applications requiring the selective removal of hydrogensulfate from nitrate-rich waste mixtures.
