Pre- and post-modification of mixed cyclodextrin-calixarene co-polymers: A route towards tunability
2017
Various pre-modified and post-modified cyclodextrin-calixarene hyper-reticulated co-polymers were synthesized, fully characterized by different techniques (FT-IR, 13C{1H} CP-MAS and LGFS solid-state NMR, thermogravimetry, porosimetry), and tested to assess their absorption abilities as nanosponges. The construction of the polymer network was accomplished exploiting the well-known CuAAC reaction between two different heptakis-6-azido-β-cyclodextrins and two different propargyloxy-calix[4]arenes. Post-modification was aimed to achieve the presence of ionizable (acidic or basic) groups on the polymer framework. Sequestration tests towards two model pollutant molecules surprisingly showed that …
