Title: supramolecules
Post by: renu on October 12, 2006, 05:43:14 AM

hi,wanted to ask out of spherands & corands which would have higher affinity for alkali metal ions & why???kindly describe taking into account pre-organisation & kinetic, thermodynamic selectivity

 ??? I am not sure whether I am correct o not, but spherands are more rigid thus more preorganised, thereby have high binding constant than corands. So spherands should have  high affinity for alkali metals than corands.
Am I correct ?
