About this document
Crown Ethers as Phase Transfer Catalysts by faciiih.ahmad is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Crown ethers are macrocyclic compounds that selectively bind metal ions, enhancing the transfer of ions between aqueous and organic phases, and were discovered by Charles J. Pedersen in 1967. They serve as phase-transfer catalysts by forming complexes with metal cations, improving solubility and reaction rates in organic reactions. Their effectiveness is influenced by the size of the ring and the metal ion, making them valuable tools in catalysis and molecular recognition.
