The Isolation, Extraction and Transportation studies of transition metal cations (Cu2+, Co2+,Ni2+ and Zn2+) with Ionophore 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol or (S-I)were examined. The Isolation studies were performed to study the interaction between Metal ions and Ionophore in Organic solvent. These studies were focused on the capacity of the ionophore to extract metal cation from an aqueous phase into an organic phase by complexation. In the Extraction and Transportation studies chloroform is used as an Organic Phase. On comparing the results of Extraction and Transportation studies it is observed that some cations have been found selective for extraction while others are more selective for transportation with ionophore. This selectivity can be applied for ion selective electrode and other redox devices. It is also helpful for environmental studies. The results of this study will be useful for various applications in Chemistry, Biochemistry, molecular sensors and switches, liquid crystals and for artificial systems
