An intramolecular cooperative extraction system for the removal of strontium cations (Sr $^{2+}$ ) from water by use of a novel macrocyclic receptor (H $_{2}$ DA18C6) composed of diaza-18-crown-6 and two -diketone fragments in ionic liquid (IL) is reported, together with X-ray spectroscopic characterization of the resulting extracted complexes in the IL and chloroform phases. The covalent attachment of two -diketone fragments to a diazacrown ether resulted in a cooperative interaction within the receptor for Sr $^{2+}$ transfer, which remarkably enhanced the efficiency of Sr $^{2+}$ transfer relative to a mixed -diketone and diazacrown system. The intramolecular cooperative effect was observed only in the IL extraction system, providing a 500-fold increase in extraction performance for Sr $^{2+}$ over chloroform. Slope analysis and potentiometric titration confirmed that identical extraction mechanisms operated in both the IL and chloroform systems. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy revealed that the average distance between Sr $^{2+}$ and O atoms in the Sr $^{2+}$ complex was shorter in IL than in chloroform. Consequently, Sr $^{2+}$ was held by H $_{2}$ DA18C6 more rigidly in IL than in chloroform, representing an important factor dominating the magnitude of the intramolecular cooperative effect of H $_{2}$ DA18C6 for Sr $^{2+}$ .
