BARIUM IONOPHORE I Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
Purification Methods
Purify it by chromatography on a Kieselgel column, elute it with CH2Cl2/EtOAc (5:1), and recrystallise the residue from the evaporated effluent from EtOH/Me2CO to give colourless crystals. It is an electrically neutral ionophore with high selectivity for Ba2+ ions and with high lipophilicity. [Kleiner et al. Chem Ber 118 1071 1985, L.ubli et al. Anal Chem 57 2756 1985.]
