Bulk liquid membrane transport of Ca 2+ and Na + ions was performed with dicarboxylic type ligands containing ( S )‐phenylalanine (Phe‐2‐O) and ( S )‐benzyltyrosine (Bz‐Tyr‐2‐O) in pH gradients. With Bz‐Tyr‐2‐O, calcium was generally favoured at every pH, the transport rate strongly depending upon the ligand concentration. At pH 8, a reversal of selectivity (Na + /Ca 2+ ) was observed for the first time at low ligand concentration, thus suggesting that a supramolecular‐type of transport occurs as a consequence of the different assemblages formed by the ligand according to pH and concentration. This is the first case of M 2+ /M + selectivity induced by the carrier concentration.
