  • Ion-sensitive compounds
    Patent number: 5874584
    Abstract: An ion-sensitive calix(4)arene compound having the formula A.sup.2 +B.sup.2 - wherein A represents a cation capable of forming a receptor-substrate complex with an anion, and B represents sulfate, nitrate or borate, characterized in that the cation is an anion receptor represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group wherein substituents are selected from alkyl C(O)NH--, aryl C(O)NH--, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, alkylsulfonamido, arylsulfonamido, alkylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, cyano and nitro;R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are each independently H or a lower alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 taken together represent an ethylene bridging group; and,n is 0 or 1.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 1997
    Date of Patent: February 23, 1999
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Trevor John Wear, Christopher Peter Moore, Alistair J. Goulden, Paul D. Beer, Nicholas C. Fletcher
  • Material method and apparatus for inhibiting microbial growth in an aqueous medium
    Patent number: 5855899
    Abstract: A biocidal material comprises a biocide immobilized in a porous inorganic polymer network such as a sol-gel matrix. The polymer may be coated on an inorganic support. The material can be used for inhibiting microbial growth in an aqueous medium, e.g., the wash solution of a photoprocessing system. The material can be housed in a flow-through container.
