Double- and Multi-Calixarentes
2006
Calixarenes are easily (and often selectively) functionalized and therefore they can be combined in various ways to larger molecules containing more than one calixarene substructure. In the following chapter we will try to give an overview on such multicalixarenes held together by "conventional" covalent links. Self-assembled structures are treated separately in Chapter 8. The earliest examples for double calixarenes of importance are the carcerands and hemicarcerands of D. Cram in which two resorcarene derived cavitands are combined. Due to their unique properties to include (more or less permanently) smaller molecules, they are treated separately in Chapter 10. Further combinations of cav…
Fourfold tetraurea calix[4]arenes--potential cores for the formation of self-assembled dendrimers.
2005
Wide rim tetraurea calix[4]arenes monofunctionalized at the narrow rim by COOH or NH2 have been synthesized in five steps from t-butylcalix[4]arene tripropylether. Their covalent linkage via the narrow rim to a central calix[4]arene fixed in the 1,3-alternate conformation led to pentacalix[4]arenes 9 bearing four tetraurea derivatives in the cone conformation in a flexible tetrahedral arrangement. Their self-assembly via the formation of hydrogen bonded dimeric capsules has been studied under different conditions. A fourfold heterodimerisation of tetrakis-tetraurea derivatives of type 9 with tetratosylurea 10 has been confirmed by 1H NMR-spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering.

Recent Developments in Calixarenes and Their Properties
1989
The increasing number of reports, monographs and patents dealing with the hemistry of inclusion compounds shows the growing interest of organic chemists in elaborating new chemical systems presenting novel physical and chemical properties. These properties are available for fundamental as well as applied research. On the one hand, basic studies on the structure and the nature of inclusion compounds provide information on the intermolecular forces implicated in organized systems and in enzyme processes. On the other hand, applications are in progress in laboratories and industries, for instance, in catalyzing chemical reactions, in transporting and extracting metallic cations, and in modifyi…
Special Calixarenes, Synthesis and Properties
1991
In the previous chapter the standard one step procedures for the synthesis of calixarenes from p-tert-butyl phenol and several p-alkyl phenols have been described. However, these procedures necessarily lead to calixarenes consisting of one single type of phenolic unit. This remains true even for those compounds in which all the terf-butyl groups are removed and replaced by other functional groups. The construction of more sophisticated, special calixarenes which could serve for instance as enzyme models, requires new synthetic approaches capable of producing molecules with selected functionalization.
Head-to-tail connected double calix[4]arenes
1997
New macrotricyclic compounds consisting of two calix[4]arene substructures connected by aliphatic chains of various length (three to five carbon atoms) between two oppositep-positions and two distal phenolic oxygens have been synthesized. Starting withp-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene, two O-protected phenolic units are attachedvia ether links in 1,3-position by reaction with the corresponding tosylates. After deprotection, the new calix[4]arene is formed by fragment condensation with 2,6-bisbromomethylated 4-alkylphenols. The structure of one example (8c) has been confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. Both calixarene parts assume the cone conformation, a molecule of acetonitrile being inclu…
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.

Preferred dimerization of tetra-tolyl- and tetra-tosylurea derivatives of flexible and rigidified calix[4]arenes
2004
The dimerization of tetratolyl- and tetratosyl-urea derivatives 1 and 2, derived from a tetrapentoxy calix[4]arene in the cone conformation and of the corresponding tetra-urea derivatives 3 and 4, in which the cone conformation is rigidified by the two crown-3 tethers, have been studied. All six possible equimolar mixtures were examined by 1H NMR using CDCl3 and CD2Cl2 as solvents. While no heterodimers are found for the combinations 1/3 and 2/4 in either solvent, all remaining combinations lead to the (exclusive) formation of heterodimers in CD2Cl2. In CDCl3 heterodimers are only observed for the combinations of 3 with 2 or 4. These results are discussed in terms of entropic and enthalpic …

The molecule of the title compound, C48H60N4O12, is located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. It is found in 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 83.33 (6) and 141.61 (5)°.
