The host potential of N,N’-bis(9-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9H-xanthen-9-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine for the xylene and ethylbenzene isomers, and its selectivity behaviour in mixed guest solutions

Key Points

• This research aims to assess the host potential of a specific compound for xylene and ethylbenzene isomers.
• Crystallization of N,N’-bis(9-(4-methoxyphenyl)-9H-xanthen-9-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine from xylene and ethylbenzene isomers.
• Analysis of inclusion compound formation with various isomers.
• Comparison of selectivity behavior in mixed guest solutions.
• Only xylenes formed inclusion compounds with the host species.
• No inclusion compounds were formed with ethylbenzene.
• Selective behavior was observed in mixed guest solutions.
