Abstract
Carrier-assisted transport through supported liquid membranes is one of the important applications of supramolecular chemistry. Carriers for the selective transport of neutral molecules, anions, cations or zwitter ionic species have been developed. The transport can be described by subsequent partitioning, complexation and diffusion. Mechanistic studies are mainly focussed on diffusion limited transport, in which diffusion of the complex through the membrane phase is the ratelimiting step of the transport. Recently, kinetic aspects in membrane transport have been elucidated with new carriers for which the rate of decomplexation determines the rate of transport. In this chapter, recent mechanistic aspects for carrier-assisted transport through supported liquid membranes are reviewed.
