Self-Assembled Hydrogen Bonded Dimers of Calix[4]arenes

1998

Self-assembly of suitably functionalized molecules to well defined supramolecular structures has become a topic of current interest. Various molecules have been designed which are able to mimic in part the recognition and self-organisation processes which are found as a general principle in nature.[1]

Symmetry: Friend or foe?

1999

While symmetry in molecules or supramolecular complexes is desirable from the design point of view and affords simpler NMR spectra, the study of symmetrical species by NMR is often subject to ambiguities resulting from signal degeneracy. In this paper we shall discuss different ways of breaking symmetry in order to obtain additional structural information by NMR.

Reversible Dimerization of Tetraureas Derived from Calix[4]Arenes

1999

Calix[4]arene derivatives, substituted at the wider rim by four urea functions are easily available in great variety. In apolar solvents like benzene or chloroform they dimerize via NH…O=C hydrogen bonds encapsulating a single solvent molecule as guest. The exclusive formation of dimers has been proved in solution by NMR, while their shape has been characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. The kinetic stability and the rate of the guest exchange have been studied by NOESY experiments using a derivative with lower symmetry.
