The synthesis of a new C,N-bipyrazolic ligand with a functionalized donor-group is reported. The binding properties of the ligand and two other ligand of similar structures towards heavy metal ions ($Hg^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$) and alkaline metal ions ($K^+$, $Na^{+}$, $Li^+$) were studied by a liquid-liquid extraction process and the extracted cation percentage was determined by atomic absorption measurements. The selectivity of the ligand to Hg(II) has been mentioned in the abstract.
