Self-Assembled Polymers Based on bis-Tetra-Urea Calix[4]arenes Connected via the Wide Rim

2008

Six double calixarenes were synthesised in which two tetra-urea calix[4]arenes are linked by a rigid spacer between the urea functions at their wide rim. The dimerisation of their tetra-urea parts leads to hydrogen-bonded polymeric assemblies in apolar solvents. The addition of the stoichiometric amount of a tetra-tosylurea calix[4]arene disrupts the polymeric structures due to the preferred formation of heterodimeric capsules between tetra-aryl and tetra-tosylurea calix[4]arenes. The existence of polymeric assemblies was further established by AFM studies on spin-coated samples.

A giant hybrid organic-inorganic octahedron from a narrow rim carboxylate calixarene.

2020

Here we discovered an unprecedented giant octahedral coordination compound bearing 16 Zn2+, 12 Na+, 8 O2-, 4 OH-, 13 H2O and 6 L4- ligands [L4- = fully deprotonated tetra(carboxymethoxy)calix[4]arene]. Its structure was elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. This compound, Zn8Na6L6⊃Zn8Na6O8(OH)4(H2O)13 (external⊃internal), has eight tetrahedral zinc ions forming the coordination vertices of an outermost cube where carboxylate groups from the sodium calixarenes are anchored. Its core consists of eight Zn2+, six Na+, eight O2-, and four OH- distributed over three layers, besides thirteen coordinated H2O molecul…

CMPO-substituted calix[6]- and calix[8]arene extractants for the separation of An3+/Ln3+ from radioactive waste

2006

Abstract Three calix[6]arene derivatives ( 1a – c ) and two calix[8]arene derivatives ( 2a , b ), with six and eight CMPO residues, respectively, attached to the narrow/lower rim via ether links, were synthesised. Preliminary liquid–liquid extraction studies for Eu(III) and Am(III) from aqueous nitric acid to o -nitrophenylhexyl ether reveal remarkable properties with respect to efficiency and selectivity, especially for the tert -butylcalix[6]arene derivative with a –(CH 2 ) 3 – spacer.

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…
