Bartsch, R A

During the second year of the DOE-funded project, rapid progress has been made in three areas: the synthesis of crown ethers which possess pendant carboxylic acid groups; the selectivity and efficiency for solvent extraction of alkali metal and of alkaline earth cations from water into organic solvents by crown ether carboxylic acids; and, the active transport of alkali metal cations across bulk liquid organic membranes by crown ether carboxylic acids.
