Self-assembled ionophores

摘要

Ionophores having the capacity spontaneously assemble in solution and composed of hydrogen bonded monomers of 5'-(t-butyl-dimethylsilyl)-2',3'-O-isopropylidene-isoguanosine, 5'-(t-butyl-dimethylsilyl)-2',3'-O-isopropylidene-thio-isoguanosine or 2',3'-Di-O-acetyl-5'-(t-butyl-dimethylsilyl)-isoguanosine are used to remove 137-cesium ions (137Cs+) from nuclear waste.
