Abstract

Selectivities of membrane potential changes for catecholamines and inorganic cations were investigated with lipophilic derivatives of calix[6]arene and related hosts incorporated in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) matrix liquid membranes. Homooxacalix[3]arene triether displayed an excellent selectivity for dopamine against other catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline) and also against inorganic cations (K+, Na+).
