Bilayers, corrugated bilayers, and coordination polymers of p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene

Exploration into the host-guest supramolecular chemistry of p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene with pyridine N-oxide and 4,4'-dipyridine N,N'-dioxide has resulted in the characterization of three new structural motifs with the calixarene in the "up-down" double partial cone conformation. Two are hydrogen-bonded network structures formed with pyridine N-oxide and either nickel or lanthanide metal counterions (1 and 2, respectively). Complex 1 displays host-guest interactions between pyridine N-oxide and the calixarene in the presence of hexaaquanickel(II) counterions. Complex 2 demonstrates selective coordination modes for different lanthanides involving the calixarene and pyridine N-oxide. The third structure, 3, is a coordination polymer which is formed with 4,4'-dipyridine N,N'-dioxide molecules which span a hydrophilic layer and join lanthanide/p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene fragments. Although complexes 1-3 all have the calixarene in the "up-down" double partial cone conformation, 1 and 3 form bilayer arrangements within the extended structures while 2 forms a previously unseen corrugated bilayer arrangement.     

The extraction of thallium(I) and silver(I) ions with 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene derivatives

Tetraallyloxy and tetrabenzyloxy derivatives of calix[4]arenes in cone and 1,3-alternate conformations were synthesised and their capacity to extract thallium(I) and silver(I) ions was investigated. ??Low??-temperature single crystal X-ray structure determinations were recorded for two derivatives in which the calixarene conformation was that of an alternating cone, the aromatic rings lying closely quasi-parallel to the $ \overline{4} $ -axis of the cone. The structure of a tetraallyloxy derivative in the cone conformation was also determined in which a molecule of acetonitrile was included within the calixarene cavity.     

Controlling the conformation and interplay of p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene as lanthanide crown ether complexes

Control over the conformational flexibility of p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene in the solid state is possible in the presence of varied stoichiometric amounts of [18]crown-6 and selected lanthanide(III) chlorides. Complexes 1 and 2 have the calixarene in the elusive up-up double cone conformation, whilst complex 3 has the calixarene in the centrosymmetric up-down double partial cone conformation, whereby it acts as a divergent receptor. Complex 1 has a double molecular capsule arrangement which is composed of two p-sulfonatocalix[6]arenes shrouding two [18]crown-6 molecules, also with both coordinated and homoleptic aquated lanthanide ions around the hydrophilic sulfonate rims of the calixarenes. Complex 2 has a ferris wheel arrangement with one lanthanide metal centre coordinated to a sulfonate group and another coordinated to the crown ether whilst tethered to a sulfonate group of the calixarene. Complex 3 forms from a solution with large excess of [18]crown-6, and possesses a crown ether molecule in each of the partial cones and has homoleptic aquated lanthanide ions involved in a complicated hydrogen-bonding regime within the extended structure.     

Bis(calixcrown)tetrathiafulvalene receptors

A new class of electroactive receptors has been synthesized, built by covalent association of five subunits: two calixarene platforms for spatial organization, two polyether 3D cavities for cation binding, and one electroactive TTF unit to probe the complexation event. Sodium complexation induces rigidification of the molecular assembly, as shown by 1H NMR titration and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies on free receptor 14 and a corresponding complex with two bound sodium atoms per receptor (15-(NaPF6)2). The calixarene units in these receptors change from a pinched cone conformation in the free ligand to a symmetrical cone in the complex. Cyclovoltammetric studies validated the electrochemical recognition concept of these five-member assemblies.     

S-alkylation of thiacalixarenes: how the regio- and stereoselectivities depend on the starting conformation

S-alkylation of all four thiacalix[4]arene conformations was accomplished using alkyl triflates. The corresponding sulfonium salts are formed in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner depending on the conformation used. Interestingly, only mono- or disubstituted sulfonium salts can be prepared. Although many regio- and stereoisomers are theoretically possible, only one dialkylated cone and 1,2-alternate derivatives were formed, while only a single isomer of monoalkylated partial cone and 1,3-alternate were isolated. The combination of experimental results with the quantum-chemical approach using the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method resulted in the elucidation of the rules governing the regio- and stereochemical outcomes of the alkylation reactions. All S-alkylated compounds represent a novel type of substitution pattern in calixarene chemistry showing the wide-ranging possibility of thiacalixarene skeleton modifications.     

Conformation-controlled luminescent properties of lanthanide clusters containing p-tert-butylsulfonylcalix[4]arene

Dinuclear and cubane-shaped lanthanide cluster complexes containing EuIII)and TbIII were synthesized by step-by-step construction using p-tert-butylsulfonylcalix[4]arene as a cluster-forming ligand. The sulfonylcalixarene adopts a pinched-cone conformation in the dinuclear complexes and a cone conformation in the cubane complexes. Because the calixarene has a large pi-conjugate system expanding over the entire molecule, it behaves as a good antenna chromophore for UV and near-UV light, and a slight conformational change of the calixarene (from cone to pinched-cone and vice versa) has an effect on the energy levels of excited S1 and T1 states. As a result, selectivity is observed in the luminescent properties of dinuclear and cubane-shaped systems of EuIII and TbIII.     

Recognition of chiral anions using calix[4]arene-based ureido receptor in the 1,3-alternate conformation

A new type of calixarene-based receptor designed for the recognition of chiral anions was prepared by the introduction of (S)-2-methylbutan-1-ol moieties into the lower rim of calixarene. The immobilization of calixarene skeleton in the 1,3-alternate conformation enabled the construction of a cavity consisting of preorganised ureido functions and chiral substituents in close proximity. This cavity is capable of chiral discrimination of selected anions as demonstrated on d- and l-phenylalaninates.     

Conformational instability of a proximally-difunctionalized calix[4]-diquinone

We have recently described the electrochemical oxidation of 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25, 26-bis(diphenylphosphinoylmethoxy)-27,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene into the corresponding diquinone 1. The solid state structure of 1 has now been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Diquinone 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group with a=10.3507(12), b=25.219(4), c=20.2315(14) Å, β=101.166(8)°, V=5181.1(10) Å³, Z=4, and D_x=1.273 g cm⁻³. The calixarene skeleton adopts a partial cone conformation in which one quinone ring is anti-oriented with respect to the other three rings of the calixarene core. A variable temperature NMR study shows that 1 is dynamic in solution, each quinone unit undergoing fast oscillation about the axis that passes through the two meta carbon atoms bonded to the adjacent methylene groups. The motion of the quinone rings was confirmed by 2D NMR experiments.     

The Wurtz-Fittig reaction in the preparation of C-silylated calixarenes

The Wurtz-Fittig reaction of tetraiodo calixarene 3 with Na/Me3SiCl in DME gave a mixture of tetrakis- and tris-silylated calixarenes (6 and 7). Tris(silyl) calixarene 7 was assigned the flattened cone conformation. A model study using p-bromoanisole and p-iodoanisole with Na/Me3SiCl gave the best results with p-bromoanisole in toluene. Attempts to extend this reaction to the tetrabromo calixarene 4 resulted in slow reactions giving mixtures of products. However, the Wurtz-Fittig reaction of the bromo benzyloxycalixarene 5 was faster, giving the debenzylated silyl ether 12.     

Hydrogen-bonding effects in calix

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of self-assembling calix[4]arene based capsules 1a.1a and 1b.1b are described. These compounds feature four urea substituents at the upper rims and four secondary amide fragments at the lower rims that can participate in inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in apolar solution. Communication between the calixarene rims in 1a, b influences the self-assembled cavity's size and shape. Specifically. dimerization results in a perfect cone conformation of the calixarene skeleton in 1a, b and stabilizes a seam of intramolecular amide C=O...H-N hydrogen bonds at the lower rim. This seam is cycloenantiomeric, with either clockwise or counterclockwise arrangements of the head-to-tail amides. Complexation of Na+-cation breaks hydrogen bonds at the lower rim but maintains the capsular assembly. Encapsulation properties of 1a.1a and 1b.1b were studied in nonpolar solvents and their binary mixtures as well as through heterodimerization experiments. The presence of amide groups at the lower rim causes notable differences in the capsule's binding affinities when compared to the corresponding tetraester capsules 1c.1c and 1d.1d. In the monomeric state calixarenes 1a, b are in a pinched cone conformation. The solid state X-ray crystallographic studies with monomeric 1a reveal only two intramolecular C=O...H-N hydrogen bonds between the adjacent amides at the lower rim, and an extensive network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between urea groups at the upper rim.
