Competitive flotation of Cd(II) and Zn(II) from very dilute aqueous solutions by proton-ionizable lariat ethers in the presence of nonylphenol nona(ethylene glycol) ether as a nonionic foaming agent is reported. Influences of structural variation within the collector (identity of the pendent acidic group and lipophilicity), concentration of the collector, and pH of the aqueous solution are assessed. A monoethyl lariat ether phosphonic acid collector is found to exhibit high Cd(II)/Zn(II) flotation selectivity under certain conditions.

Twelve new proton-ionizable, picrylamino-type chromogenic lariat ethers derived from dibenzo-14-crown-4, dibenzo-16-crown-5 and dibenzo-19-crown-6 demonstrate good selectivity and remarkable color response upon extraction of alkali metal cations from basic aqueous solutions into chloroform.

Twelve novel proton-ionizable dibenzo lariat ethers with picrylamino-type sidearms attached to the central carbon of a three-carbon bridge have been prepared in high yields by a three-step synthesis from the lariat ether alcohols via the corresponding lariat ether mesylates and amines. Structural studies conducted in solution by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction show that the picrylamino-type lariat ethers are preorganized for metal ion complexation with the sidearms oriented toward the macrocyclic polyether cavities due to intramolecular NH.O bonding.
