Functionalized Calix[8]arenes, Synthesis and Self-assembly on Graphite
2005
With the intention of building hollow tubular structures by self-assembly, we have designed and successfully synthesized a series of calix[8]arene derivatives. Their phenolic units were functionalized in p-position by various groups which are able to interact via hydrogen bonding or π−π stacking. Ethynyl, amide, urea, or imide links were chosen for the covalent attachment of these functional groups, to ensure the adjustment of an optimal distance for their interaction. Two different kinds of nanostructures self-assembled on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface were found by scanning force microscopy: parallel aligned nanorods in which the calixarene molecules are adsorbed ed…
Crystal structure of t-Butylcalix[8]arene octamethyl ether
2002
Abstract The title compound 1a crystallized with a molecule of chloroform in a triclinic lattice, space group P-1, with a=16.5215(19) A, b=17.4181(19) A, c=18.7403(18) A, α=78.328(8)°, β=64.210(8)°, γ=87.863(9)°, Z=2. The molecule assumes a not yet observed conformation with approximate (not crystallographic) C4V-symmetry with the inclusion of one molecule of chloroform in the molecular cavity. Layers of molecules are packed in alternating order in the crystal lattice.

The molecule of the title compound, C64H96O4, adopts the typical pinched-cone conformation. The dihedral angles between the reference plane (defined by the C atoms of the methylene bridges) and the benzene rings are 86.88 (4), 136.64 (5), 87.22 (4) and 133.99 (4)°.
Supramolecular structures formed by calix[8]arene derivatives.
2003
Octamethoxy calix[8]arenes substituted in the para position by amide, urea, and imide functions were synthesized from the octamethyl ether of tert-butylcalix[8]arene by ipso nitration, reduction, and acylation. Scanning force microscopy of spin coated samples on graphite suggests that these derivatives self-organize into tubular nanorods via hydrogen bonds between p-amide functions. A single-crystal X-ray structure reveals a centrosymmetric conformation for the octanitro derivative. [structure: see text]
