Synthesis of and ion recognition by the novel Schiff base macrocyclic compounds containing triazine

Several novel Schiff base macrocyclic compounds containing triazine were synthesized from cyanuric chloride, diethylamine, p -nitrophenol, p -phthalaldehyde, m -phthalaldehyde, and o -phthalaldehyde. Triazine macrocycles were synthesized using the high dilution method and their structures were elucidated by IR, NMR and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS).
