Calixarenes as Stoppers in Rotaxanes

1998

The synthesis of the amide-based rotaxane 7a bearing calix[4]arene blocking groups is described for the first time. While rotaxane formation fails if a calix[4]arene is functionalized at the upper rim with only an amino or methylamino group lacking any spacer, the prolonged amine 5a works successfully as stopper unit preventing dethreading of the dimeric wheel 1a by its size. Rotaxane formation of 8b was observed only by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of the reaction mixture of the amine 5b, the axle 6 and 1a. With the larger trimeric wheel 1b no stable rotaxane could be obtained. It either does not act as a concave template or its opening is too wide, even for the bulky calixarene stoppers.

Wide Rim Urethanes Derived from Calix[4]arenes:  Synthesis and Self-Assembly

2006

[reaction: see text] Calix[4]arenes 4, substituted at the wide rim by four N-tolyl-urethane groups, were synthesized, as well as derivatives 10a,b bearing two or three tolyl-urea groups beside of one or two urethane group(s). In contrast to tetra-tolyl urea 11, the urethane derivatives do not form hydrogen-bonded, dimeric capsules in CDCl3 or benzene-d6, but the dimerization can be induced for the triurea 10b by tetraethylammonium cations as guests. The quantitative formation of heterodimers is observed for all urethanes 4 and 10a,bin benzene-d6 in mixtures with a "tetra-loop" tetraurea 14, while "bisloop" tetraureas 13 require di- or triurea derivatives 10a,b for a clean heterodimerization.

Covalently linked multi-calixarenes

1998

Abstract ipso-Nitration of t-butyl calix[4]arene tetraethers and subsequent hydrogenation provides an easy access to monoamino calix[4]arenes. Reaction with di- and triacid chlorides leads to various double- and triple-calix[4]arenes. With tetraacid chlorides derived from calix[4]arenes in the cone- or 1,3-alternate-conformations penta-calix[4]arenes are available as molecularly uniform species, which may be regarded as the first generation of calix[4]arene based dendrimers. The structure of the mononitro tetraester derivative, which may serve as a general building block has been confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis.

Special Calixarenes by Directed Syntheses

1997

The synthesis of special calixarenes and calixarene-like macrocyclic compounds via stepwise procedures and fragment condensation is reviewed. Among the compounds available are exo- and endo-calixarenes consisting of different phenolic units, having bridges other than methylene or showing inherent chirality (Cn-symmetry). Macrobi- and -tricyclic molecules such as bridged calixarenes, double calixarenes, bicyclocalixarenes and annelated calixarenes are also described. Single crystal X-ray structures are reported for several compounds. Some properties like conformational barriers, pKa values or the ability to complex metal ions are discussed, showing the potential of these compounds which may …

Calix[4]arenes bridged at the lower rim

1990

Calix[41 arenes, in which two opposite p-positions are linked by an aliphatic chain, and their derivatives show transport or complexation properties strongly dependent on the length of this chain. Bicyclo-calix[4]arenes, a special case of 1,3-bridged calix[41 arenes, and annelated calix[41 arenes, a special case of 1 ,&bridged calix [4] arenes, are also described. Although the preferred conformation of calix[4]arenes is the coneconformation due to its stabilization by a cyclic array of hydrogen bonds between the phenolic hydroxyl goups, these molecules are flexible, with a cone to cone inversion rate of about 150 8-1 for a calix[glarene at 47OC (ref. 1). The cone (or any other) conformation…

Unexpected Conformational Behaviour of a Diphosphate Derived from a Spherand-Type Calixarene

2005

The spherand-type calixarene 2a, which consists of three diphenol units linked by methylene bridges, was treated with phosphorus pentachloride and then with water. A C1-symmetrical conformation was found for the resulting bisphosphate 7 in the crystalline state by X-ray analysis, with an anti orientation of the phosphoryl groups. MM3 calculations lead to a nearly identical conformation for the most stable isomer (RRS-twist), while a slightly higher energy was found for an RRS-crown isomer with a syn orientation of the phosporyl groups. Surprisingly, all NMR studies (1H, 13C and 31P) of 7 are in agreement with a dynamic C2 symmetry in solution. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Wein…

Francesco Paolo Neglia, direttore d'orchestra

2013

L'articolo mira a ricostruire l'attività di direttore d'orchestra del compositore siciliano Francesco Paolo Neglia, sviluppatasi prevalentemente in Germania. Si sottolinea l'influenza di importanti direttori coevi (in particolare Felix Weingartner) e il contributo di Neglia alla diffusione e valorizzazione di compositori quali Anton Bruckner, Hugo Wolf, Josef Suk, Feliks Nowowiejski. In chiusura viene proposta una carrellata sulle opinioni critiche più rilevanti riguardo alle esecuzioni del musicista, tratte dai maggiori quotidiani tedeschi del periodo.

Spine and test skeletal matrices of the Mediterranean sea urchinArbacia lixula- a comparative characterization of their sugar signature

2015

15 pages; International audience; Calcified structures of sea urchins are biocomposite materials that comprise a minor fraction of organic macromolecules, such as proteins, glycoproteins and polysaccharides. These macromolecules are thought to collectively regulate mineral deposition during the process of calcification. When occluded, they modify the properties of the mineral. In the present study, the organic matrices (both soluble and insoluble in acetic acid) of spines and tests from the Mediterranean black sea urchin Arbacia lixula were extracted and characterized, in order to determine whether they exhibit similar biochemical signatures. Bulk characterizations were performed by mono-di…
