一种基于硫杂杯[4]芳烃的高效银离子载体

合成了基于下缘含有酰肼基团的硫杂杯芳烃衍生物的银离子载体1,其核磁研究证实硫杂杯芳烃以1,3-交替构象存在,并且通过非竞争萃取实验和竞争萃取实验研究了它对碱金属和过渡金属离子（Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cs⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Ag⁺）的键合能力和选择性。实验结果表明：将酰肼基团引入1,3-交替构象的硫杂杯芳烃骨架的下缘可以提高其对Ag⁺的键合能力和选择性,同时,对Cu²⁺的萃取能力较弱,对碱金属离子和其它的重金属离子几乎没有萃取能力。进一步的核磁滴定和电喷雾质谱实验显示化合物1与银离子形成配合物的配合计量比为1：1,由此推断主要由“N-Ag⁺”配位键以及硫杂杯芳烃骨架的协同作用构成了化合物1与银离子的配合模式。     

Excellent Ag+ selective receptors: Syntheses and complexation properties of novel biscalix[4]arene with benzalazine groups

By reacting mono-substituted or 1,3-bi-substituted [2-(p-formylphenyloxy)ethyloxy]-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (3 or 4) with hydrazine hydrate in ‘1+2’ or ‘2+2’ condensation mode, novel benzalazine-bridging biscalix[4]arenes 5 and 7 were conveniently obtained in the yields of 76 and 81%, respectively. Condensation of compound 4 and salicylide hydrazone gave a novel calix[4]arene benzalazine derivative 6 in the yield of 85%. The structures and conformations of all new compounds were characterised by elemental analyses, ESI-MS, ¹H NMR and ¹H–¹H COSY techniques. Biscalix[4]arene 7 adopts a symmetrical cone conformation with tube cavity. The liquid–liquid extraction experiment showed that all new hosts possessed excellent complexation abilities towards soft metal cations. Compound 7 exhibited high complexation selectivity towards Ag⁺. The Ag⁺/Na⁺ and Ag⁺/Hg²⁺ extraction percentages of host 7 were as high as 73.1 and 54.9, respectively. The UV–vis spectra complexation experiments revealed that the complexation constant of receptor 7 with Ag⁺ was 1.9 × 10⁵ M^? 1 and the 1:1 stoichiometry of receptor 7–Ag⁺ complex was formed. The ¹H NMR spectra complexation experiments suggested that Ag⁺ was bound in a cavity composed of two benzalazine groups on bridging chains.     

Polymeric membrane sodium-selective electrodes based on calix[4]arene ionophores

Six kinds of tetra alkylester type calix[4]arene derivatives, (R₁=R₂=CH₃1, C₂H₅2, C₃H₇3,n-C₄H₉4,t-C₄H₉5,n-C₁₀H₂₁6), a diethyl-didecyl mixed ester type (R₁=C₂H₅, R₂ =C₁₀H₂₁7), and three kinds of lower rim bridged types (R₁=C₂H₅, R₂–R₂=(CH₂)₁₀8, (CH₂)₁₂9, (CH₂)₂(OCH₂CH₂)₃10) were characterized by electrochemical measurement to elucidate the effect of the length of the alkyl group of alkoxycarbonyl substituents on Na⁺ selectivity. To obtain excellent Na⁺ selective ionophores, introduction of short chain alkyl groups rather than long chain ones, such as a decyl group, and maintenance of sufficient solubility of the calix[4]arene derivatives in the membrane solvent are required concurrently. Among the calix[4]arenes tested, 25,26,27,28-tetrakis[(ethoxycarbonyl)methoxy]-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene2, and the diethyl-didecyl mixed ester type derivative7 are the best ionophores for a Na⁺ selective electrode. On the other hand, sodium selectivity of the bridged type derivative9 is comparable or even superior to that of the known bis(12-crown-4).This paper is dedicated to the commemorative issue on the 50th anniversary of calixarenes.     

Complexation and Transport of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metal Cations by p-tert-Butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene Tetraketone Derivatives

The binding properties of three p-tert-butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene tetraketone derivatives (tert-butyl 2b, adamantyl 2c and phenyl 2d) in the cone conformation and one derivative (methyl 2a) in a partial cone conformation, towards alkali and alkaline earth metal cations have been established by extraction studies of metal picrates from water into dichloromethane, stability constant measurements in methanol and acetonitrile, and by ¹H NMR spectrometry. Transport experiments of metal picrates through a dichloromethane membrane were also performed. The results are compared to those obtained with closely-related calix[n]arene derivatives (n = 4 and 5) and discussed in terms of the substituents, size and conformational effects. Methylketone 2a is a poor binder for all the cations studied, due to its partial cone conformation. Ketones 2b, 2c and 2d show high extraction and complexation levels for the alkali cations, with similar profiles and preference for K⁺ and Na⁺ (plateau selectivity). Towards alkaline earth cations, these ketones show a strong peak selectivity for Ba²⁺ in extraction, but a plateau selectivity for Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺ in complexation. The nature of the substituent attached to the ketone function has some influence on their binding properties, with phenylketone 2d being a slightly weaker binder than ketones 2b and 2c. ¹H NMR titrations confirm the formation of 1:1 complexes between the ketones and the cations studied, also indicating that they should be located inside the cavity defined by the phenoxy and carbonyl oxygen atoms. Ketones 2b, 2c and 2d show transport rates that do not follow, in general, the same trends observed in extraction and complexation.

A Facile Method of Synthesis of a Calix[4]arene Amide and the Crystal Structure of a Self-assembled Calix[4]arene Amide via van Der Waals Interaction

A new facile method of synthesis of calix[4]arene amide via the aminolysis of the calix[4]arene esters was reported. One ethyl ester of the compound (2) was aminolysized byn-butylamine. The crystal structure of compound (1)shows that one ethyl ester of compound (1) enters into thecavity of another compound (1) forming a long chainhost-guest supramolecule. From the 2D NMR data, the compound(1) does not assemble in THF or CHCl₃ solution. The CH- interaction and crystallization energy might be theimportant driving forces for forming the self-assembledcalix[4]arene.     

Synthesis and evaluation of a novel pyrenyl-appended triazole-based thiacalix[4]arene as a fluorescent sensor for Ag ion

New fluorescent chemosensors 1,3-alternate-1 and 2 with pyrenyl-appended triazole-based on thiacalix[4]arene were synthesized. The fluorescence spectra changes suggested that chemosensors 1 and 2 are highly selective for Ag⁺ over other metal ions by enhancing the monomer emission of pyrene in neutral solution. However, other heavy metal ions, such as Cu²⁺, and Hg²⁺ quench both the monomer and excimer emission of pyrene acutely. The ¹H NMR results indicated that Ag⁺ can be selectively recognized by the triazole moieties on the receptors 1 and 2 together with the ionophoricity cavity formed by the two inverted benzene rings and sulfur atoms of the thiacalix[4]arene.

Inclusion of multi-ring compounds byp-tert-butylcalix[5]arene

The inclusion complex ofp-tert-butylcalix[5]arene with tetralin has been characterized in the solid state by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study and by¹³C CP/MAS NMR experiments. A crystallographic mirror plane bisects the calix[5]arene and contains the tetralin molecule (which is dynamically disordered). The guest penetrates the upper rim of the calixarene and the experimental results indicate the saturated ring is imbedded most deeply.p-tert-Butylcalix[5]arene (tetralin) · 2 EtOH belongs to the monoclinic space group C2/m witha = 22.187(6),b = 15.823(6),c = 18.168(5) Å, = 99.70(2)°, andD _c = 1.09 g cm^–3 forZ = 4. Refinement based on 1652 observed reflections led to a finalR value of 0.081.

Ester and Ketone Groups Substituted Mono- and Di- Azo-coupled Azocalix[4]arenes as Extractant for Hg+ and Hg2+, or Cr3+Cations

This article describes extraction properties of mono- (A1–A8) and di- (B1–B8) substituted azocalix[4]arene analogues. The ionophore solvent extractions of alkaline-earth (Sr²⁺), basic metal (Pb²⁺) and transition metal cations (Ag⁺, Hg⁺, Hg²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cr³⁺) from aqueous phase to organic phase were carried out by azocalix[4]arene derivatives. It has been observed that they show a good extraction behavior toward selected heavy metal (Hg) and toxic metal (Cr), while A4 and B4 prefer Hg⁺, Hg²⁺ and Cr³⁺ among transition metal cations, respectively. The azocalix[4]arenes (A1–A8) and (B1–B8) are not efficient extractants for all of the selected metal cations, whereas A4 and B4 are selective only for Hg metal cation.     

Preparation and Application of Calix[4]arene Derivatives Bearing Pyridinium Units-Grafted Magnetite Nanoparticles for Removal of Dichromate and Arsenate Anions

Diamide derivatives of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (3a and 3b) have been immobilized onto [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-propyl]-trimethoxysilane-modified Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles to obtain D-Calix-GEPPTMS-MNs (4a and 4b) and investigate their sorption capability toward arsenate and dichromate anions at different pH. The novel calixarene derivatives were characterized by a combination of FTIR and H-NMR analyses. The morphology of the magnetic nanoparticles was examined by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Thermogravimetric Analyses (TGA). In addition, a simple and versatile method has been used for the determination of arsenate in aqueous solution. In this method, the absorption of the excess dye gradually decreases because of its conversion to colorless carbinol species by combining with methyl violet cation (MV⁺) and forming stable blue micro particles of (MV⁺)-molybdoarsenate.     

Synthesis and conformation studies of multiple bridged p-tert-butylcalix[7]arene diphosphates

p-tert-Butylcalix[7]arene reacting with phosphorus pentachloride and then with water afforded two stereoisomers p-tert-butylcalix[7]arene diphosphates 2a and 2b, representing the first phosphorus multiple bridged calix[7]arene. The more accurate structure of 2a was investigated with the aid of Gaussian03 calculations.     

p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arene Derivatives Containing Azathiol Receptors and Their Recognition towards Hg(II)

25,27(2,2'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,9-diimine-3,7-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (3),25,27(4,4'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,9-diimine-3,7-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (4),25,27(2,2'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,8-diimine-3,6-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (5) and25,27(4,4'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,8-diimine-3,6-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (6) havebeen synthesized by condensation reactions between25,27(2,2'-bis(ethoxybenzaldehyde))-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (1) and25,27(4,4'-bis(ethoxybenzaldehyde))-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (2) and appropriateamines. Reduction of 3 and 4 withNaBH₄ and subsequent protonation byHCl/CH₃OH resulted in25,27(2,2'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,9-diaza-3,7-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenedihydrogenchloride (7) and25,27(4,4'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,9-diaza-3,7-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenedihydrogenchloride (8), respectively. Complexation studies of 7 and 8 withZn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions were carried out bypotentiometric titration. Compounds 7 and8 selectively form 1 : 1 complexes with Hg(II), andtheir stability constants (log Ks) were estimated tobe 4.47 ± 0.08 and 3.20 ± 0.13, respectively. From spiecies distribution plots, 7 and 8were found to form the highest amount of 1 : 1 complexes with Hg(II) at pH 8.7 and 9.1, respectively.     

Voltammetric determination of mercury (II) in aqueous media using glassy carbon electrodes modified with novel calix[4]arene

A novel calix[4]arene derivative containing benzothiazole group was coated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and then applied to the recognition of mercury ion. Cyclic and square wave voltammetric results showed that the modified electrode selectively recognizes Hg²⁺ ion in aqueous media. A new anodic stripping peak at −0.3 V (vs. Ag/Ag⁺) can be obtained by scanning the potential from −0.6 to 0.6 V, and the peak currents are proportional to the Hg²⁺ concentration. The modified electrode in a 0.1 M H₂SO₄+0.01 M NaCl solution shows linear voltammetric response in the range of 25-300 μg l⁻¹ and detection limit of 5 μg l⁻¹ (ca. 2.5×10⁻⁸ M). This modified GCE does not present any significant interference from alkali, alkaline and transition metal ions except for Pb²⁺, Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions. Only 500, 50 and 100-fold molar excess of Pb²⁺, Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions, respectively, can lead to voltammetric response comparable with that of Hg²⁺. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine mercury in natural water.     

Azocalixarenes. 6: Synthesis, complexation, extraction and thermal behaviour of four new azocalix[4]arenes

Four new azocalix[4]arenes {5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylphenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (1), 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-hydroxy-5-nitro phenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (2), 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-amino-5-carboxylphenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (3) and 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-sulfonicacidnapthylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (4)} have been synthesized from p-tert-butylphenol, p-nitrophenol, p-aminobenzoic acid and 1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-sulphonic acid by diazo coupling reaction with p-aminocalix[4]arene. The resulting ligands (1–4) were treated with three transition metal salts (e.g., CuCl₂·2H₂O, NiCl₂·6H₂O or CoCl₂·6H₂O). Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of the azocalix[4]arene derivatives were obtained and characterized by UV-vis, IR, ¹H-NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. All the complexes have a metal:ligand ratio of 2:1. The Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of azocalix[4]arenes are square-planar, while the Co(II) complexes of azocalix[4]arenes are octahedral with water molecules as axial ligands. The solvent extraction of various transition metal cations from the aqueous phase to the organic phase was carried out by using azocalix[4]arenes (1–4). It was found that, azocalix[4]arenes 1, 2 and 3 examined selectivity for transition metal cations such as Ag⁺, Hg⁺ and Hg²⁺. In addition, the thermal stability of metal:azocalix[4]arene complexes were also reported. Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Mustafa Yılmaz on the occasion of his 50th birthday     

Regioselective intramolecular bridging of p-tert-butylcalix[10]arene

The synthesis and characterization of a series of regioselective intramolecular bridging of calix[10]arene are described for the first time. Reacting p-tert-butylcalix[10]arene with tri-ethylene glycol ditosylate using K₂CO₃ as a base in toluene, 1,2-calix[10]crown-4 2a, 1,4-calix[10]crown-4 2b and 1,6-calix[10]crown-4 2c were obtained in yields of 9%, 14% and 7%, respectively. While using Cs₂CO₃/acetone instead of K₂CO₃/toluene, the 1,4-calix[10]crown-4 2b was obtained selectively in good yield up to 50%.     

Hard–Soft Receptors, Tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy] thiacalix[4]arene Derivatives with cone and 1,3-alternate Conformation

Direct O-alkylation of p-tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene with N,N-diethylchloroacetamide afforded two conformational isomers (1,3-alternate and cone) of tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene and 1,3-disubstituted bis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene, depending on the base used. The complaxation behaviors of the tetrakis isomers were assessed by ¹H NMR titration experiments. Evidence of 1:2 (homo- and hetero-dinuclear) complexes formation of 1,3-alternate-tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene with alkali (K⁺ and Na⁺) or transition (Ag⁺) metal ions was obtained. Interestingly, it was found that the cone-tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene required a prior Ag⁺ complexation to form 1:2 heterodinuclear complex. Received in final form: 26 January 2005     

Phosphorylated Calixarenes as Receptors of L-Amino Acids and Dipeptides: Calorimetric Determination of Gibbs Energy,Enthalpy and Entropy of Complexation

The metal cation binding ability of cone-p-tert-butylhexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene tris(acetic acid) was investigated by ¹H NMR and complementary semi-empirical calculations. NMR showed significant shifts with Na⁺, K⁺, Ag⁺ and, to a lesser extent, Pb²⁺. The macrocyclic protons undergoing the greatest shifts imply that these cations bind inside the cavity composed of the phenoxy and carbonyl oxygen atoms. Metal complexes were modelled using a semi-empirical approach and, in general, their geometry optimised structures were in agreement with NMR data. U-tube transport experiments demonstrated that the macrocycle actively transported Cr³⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺ and Cu²⁺ through the organic phase.     

Reaction of trimethylaluminum with calixarenes. I. Synthesis and structure of [Calix[8]arene methyl ether] [AlMe3]6·2 toluene and of [p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene methyl ether] [AlMe3]6·4 benzene

Reaction of the methyl ether of calix[8]arene with AlMe₃ yields [calix[8]arene methyl ether] [AlMe₃]₆·2 toluene,1, while that ofp-tert-butylcalix[8]arene gives [p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene methyl ether] [AlMe₃]₆·4 benzene,2. Both compounds1 and2 fail to react with alkali metal salts, MX. In1, the absence of a butylpara-substituent affords greater flexibility than is the case for thetert-butyl compound2. Thus, all six of the AlMe₃ groups are located on the outside of the macrocyclic ring (in projection) in1, but two AlMe₃ units are found on the inside in2. Colorless, air-sensitive crystals of1 belong to the triclinic space group witha=13.690(8),b=14.317(4),c=14.738(6) Å, =76.11(3), =62.36(4), =82.41(4)^o, andD _c =1.06 g cm^–3 forZ=1. Refinement led toR=0.101 for 1154 observed reflections.2 crystallizes in with =12.400(6),b=16.229(8),c=19.251(5) Å, =96.17(3), =107.25(3), =101.54(3)^o, andD _c =1.01 g cm^–3 forZ=1. Refinement of2 gaveR=0.128 for 4351 observed reflections. The macrocyclic array in both1 and2 lies about a crystallographic center of inversion.
