Abstract:
A structural series of acyclic polyether dicarboxylic acids with n-butyl and n-tetradecyl alkyl side chains at the alpha-position of the carboxylic acid units, as well as varying lengths of the ethylene glycol ether linkage connecting two benzo units were prepared. In terms of stability constants, competitive solvent extraction and cation transport experiment by bulk liquid membrane toward transition metal ions, ligand 3 with a monoethylene glycol unit and n-butyl side chains provide the best selectivity for the lead ion.

Acidity of 1-Alkynes
The acidic strength of hydrocarbons follows the order: Alkynes > Alkenes > Alkanes. The strength of an acid is commonly expressed in units of pKa — the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid. Among the hydrocarbons, terminal alkynes have lower pKa values and are, therefore, more acidic. For example, the pKa values for ethane, ethene, and acetylene are 51, 44, and 25, respectively, as shown here.
