Popis: The synthesis of a new series of heteroaromatic macrocycles 6 – 9 containing the 1,3-bis(6-oxopyridazin-1-yl)propane and pyridine units is reported. The acyclic compounds 11 – 15 had to be prepared as the intermediates in the synthetic sequence. Evaluation of the ionophoric properties of 6 – 9 and 11 – 15 shows that 8 and 13 behave as good ammonium ion carriers and exhibit a high selectivity for ammonium with respect to spherically symmetric metallic ions like Na + , K + , and Ca 2+ . Molecular modelling of the ammonium complexes suggests that the host's oxyimino groups play a more relevant part in effective complexation than the pyridine unit, and that the high complexating efficiency of 13 might be related to the formation of a pseudocavity by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
