## Abstract In this work, we analyze the geometry and electronic structure of the [X~__n__~M~3~]^__n__−2^ species (M = Be, Mg, and Ca; X = Li, Na, and K; __n__ = 0, 1, and 2), with special emphasis on the electron delocalization properties and aromaticity of the __cyclo__‐[M~3~]^2−^ unit. The __cyc

✦ Synopsis
Page 2766. After several tests, in our previous manuscript, 1 we concluded that ''the 1 A 1 0 () state is the ground state of cyclo-[M 3 ] 2À (M ¼ Be, Mg, and Ca) species.'' After the publication of our work, Giri et al. 2 reported that the triplet state for these cyclo-[M 3 ] 2À species is more stable than the singlet one. In view of this conclusion, we revised our results and we find that the triplet state one reaches depends on the initial molecular orbitals (MOs) guess. Thus when one optimizes the triplet state starting from the (MOs) of the 1 A 1 0 ()

## Abstract The preparation of a series of non‐cyclic, uncharged ligands able to selectively complex alkali and alkaline earth metal cations is described. These molecules are designed to be used as carriers for cations through membranes. Some of the compounds show high Ca^2+^ and Na^+^ selectivity,
