Several new p-tert-pentylcalixarenes synthesized. These and other calixarenes were used to study carrier-mediated alkali-metal cation fluxes at 25.degree. C in H2O-(organic solvent)-H2O liquid membranes. In addition to single cation systems, all possible equimolar, 2-, 3- and 4-cation mixtures of NaOH, KOH, RbOH and CsOH were used in the study. In each case, alkali cation transport was coupled with the reverse flux of protons. Selective transport of Cs+ over Rb+, K+ and Na+ was seen in all mixtures studied. The greatest selectively for Cs+ was found for calix[4]arenes, but the largest flux of Cs+ as well as the other alkali cations was seen with the calix[6]arenes and calix[8]arenes. The greater flux in these latter cases may be a result of each calixarene binding 2 cations. In experiments a low [Cs+]-to-[Rb+]ratios, p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene transports Rb+ over Cs+. As these ratios increase, transport of Cs+ becomes favored over that of Rb+, indicating that the cation flux depends, in part, on the relative concentrations of the cations in the source phase. [Calixarenes are potential enzyme mimics.].
