Rigidified Calixarenes Bearing Four Carbamoylmethylphosphineoxide or Carbamoylmethylphosphoryl Functions at the Wide Rim
Conformationally rigidified tetraCMPO derivatives have been prepared from calix[4]arene bis(crown ether) 4 a in which adjacent oxygens are bridged at the narrow rim by two diethylene glycol links. Acylation of the tetraamine 4 c with the CMPO-active ester 5 b gave the tetraphosphine oxide 6 a, while the tetraphosphinate 6 b and the tetraphosphonate 6 c were obtained by Arbuzov reaction of tetrabromoacetamido derivative 7 with PhP(OEt)2 or P(OEt)3. The extraction ability of these CMPO derivatives was checked for selected lanthanides and actinides and compared with the analogous compounds 1 b, 10 b and 10 d derived from calix[4]arene tetrapentyl ether. All rigidified bis(crown ether) ligands …
Calix[4]arenes as Selective Extracting Agents. An NMR Dynamic and Conformational Investigation of the Lanthanide(III) and Thorium(IV) Complexes
The lanthanide and Th4+ complexes with calix[4]arene ligands substituted either on the narrow or at the wide rim by four coordinating groups behave totally differently as shown by an NMR investigation of the dia- and paramagnetic complexes. Solutions of complexes were prepared by reacting anhydrous metal perchlorate salts with the ligands in dry acetonitrile (CAUTION). Relaxation time T1 titrations of acetonitrile solutions of Gd3+ by calixarenes indicate that ligands subsituted on the narrow rim form stable 1:1 complexes whether they feature four amide groups (1) or four phosphine oxide functions. In contrast, a ligand substituted by four (carbamoylmethyl)-diphenylphosphine oxide moieties …
