Their complexing abilities were studied by the liquid-liquid extraction of alkali (Li+, Na+, K+, and Cs+) and selected transition metal (Cu2+, Co2+,Cd2+, Ni2+, and Hg2+) cations. We found a novel selectivity of these compounds toward Hg+2 cations through examination of the extraction.en10.1081/SS-100100223info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesssolvent extractionbiscalix[4]arenesalkai cationstransition metal cationsArticle35812471256Q2WOS:000088301800010Q1
