Synthesis and metal ion complexation studies of proton-ionizable calix

A series of novel N-chromogenic calix[4]arene azacrown ethers were synthesized as selective extractants of potassium ion. 1,3-Alternate calix[4]arene azacrown ethers were prepared by reacting 25,27-dipropyloxy-26,28-bis(5-chloro-3-oxapentyloxy) calix[4]arenes with p-toluenesulfonamide in the presence of potassium carbonate. The coupling reaction of calix[4]arene azacrown ether with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide in the presence of triethylamine in THF gave the chromogenic calix[4]arene azacrown ether in moderate yield. These compounds show high potassium selectivity over other metal ions as shown by two-phase extraction, bulk liquid membrane, and 1H NMR studies on a ligand-metal complex. It is assumed that the OH of the chromogenic group attached on nitrogen can assist the complexation by encapsulation of the metal.     

Novel Synthesis and Characterization of N‐Substituted‐calix[4]azacrown Derivatives

Novel calix[4]azacrown derivatives from the reaction between calix[4]amidocrown and the different N‐(4‐bromoacetamidephthalimido)alkanes derivatives, which may be useful intemediate compounds of pseudorotaxane, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS, and elemental analyses. From their analysis data, it was found that compounds 6a–d adopted a cone conformation.     

Chromogenic indoaniline armed-calix[4]azacrowns

Two novel chromogenic 1,3-alternate calix[4]azacrown (1) and calix[4]-bis-azacrown (2) in which an indoaniline chromophore was attached on the nitrogen atom of the azacrown unit with one methylene spacer were synthesized. The 1H NMR spectrum of the ligand 1 and Ca2+ proved that the metal ion is entrapped by the calix[4]azacrown unit and by the conjugated indoaniline system. From the UV/vis band shifts upon metal ion complexation, Zn2+ ion was found to give the largest band shifts compared to other metal cations, indicating that Zn2+ ion (K(a) = 18 760 M(-)(1) for 1 and K(a) = 19 930 M(-1) for 2) was selectively encapsulated by the calix[4]azacrown cavity with assistance of the pendent indoaniline sidearm.     

Novel calix[4]cryptands: “Mappemonde II” and “Mill II”

Two novel calix[4]cryptands were synthesized from 1,3‐alternate calix[4]bis‐azacrown. “Mappemonde II” consists of one 1,3‐calix[4]bis‐azacrown wrapped by a benzo‐crown ether loop. “Mill II” is composed of two 1,3‐calix[4]bis‐azacrowns linked by two benzo‐crown ether strands.     

Chiral calix[4]azacrowns for enantiomeric recognition of amino acid derivatives

In this study the synthesis of novel chiral calix[4]azacrown derivatives has been reported. The enantioselectivity of chiral receptors was investigated by using UV-vis spectroscopy. All the chiral calix[4]arene derivatives exhibited certain chiral recognition toward the enantiomers of phenylalanine (Phe-OMe·HCl) and alanine methyl ester hydrochlorides (Ala-OMe·HCl). As a chiral receptor, the furfuryl-armed calix[4]azacrown ether 7 has the best enantiomeric discriminating ability for α-amino acid ester hydrochlorides (up to K_L/K_D=2.08, ΔΔG₀=−1.82 kJ mol⁻¹) in CHCl₃. The enantiomeric recognition abilities for guests are also discussed from a thermodynamic point of view.

Calixazacrown ethers for copper(II) ion-selective electrode

Five novel 1,3-alternate calix[4]azacrown ethers having 2-picolyl, 3-picolyl, and benzyl unit on the nitrogen atom were synthesized and used as ionophores for transition metal-selective polymeric membrane electrodes. The electrode based on 2-picolyl armed 1,3-alternate calix [4] azacrown ether exhibited Nernstian response toward copper (II) ion over a concentration range (10(-4.5) M-10(-2.5) M). The detection limit was determined as 10(-5) M in pH 7 and the selectivity coefficients for possible interfering cations were evaluated. Anions in the sample solution strongly affected the electrode response.     

Hydrogen bonding patterns of calix[4]arenes with thiourea functionalities in solution and in the solid state

[structure: see text] We have synthesized a number of calix[4]arene derivatives presenting thiourea functional groups at their upper rims by the condensation of a 1,3-di(p-amino)calix[4]arene with alkyl isothiocyanates. Mono- and dithiourea-substituted calix[4]arenes were prepared selectively in good yields, and homocoupling of the former led to calix[4]arene dimers with a thiourea linker. X-ray crystallography revealed interesting intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding patterns. (1)H NMR data and computational studies also provided some insight into the hydrogen bonding patterns.

A cooperative mechanism involving supramolecular interactions is proposed.     

Synthesis and characterization of linear molecular assembly of crystalline calix[4]arenes dithianes

A family of six new variously substituted calix[4]arene dithianes has been prepared from respective formyl and acetyl derivatives. Shorter reaction time, mild conditions, and facile isolation of desired products are attractive features of the described method. The new 1,2-dithiane derivatives have been characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and FABMS analysis. The crystal structure of one of the acetyl calix[4]arene dithiane was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, which revealed a dithiane capped linear molecular organization. Preliminary evaluation of bis (dithiane) calix[4]arene derivatives as molecular receptor for transition metal ions has revealed strong interaction with Hg²⁺ in 1:1 stoichiometry.     

Synthesis of chiral calix[4]arenes bearing tartaric ester moieties

The synthesis of chiral calix[4]arenes with tartaric acid ester moieties has been achieved by the reactions of tartaric ester chloroacetates with calix[4]arenes in moderate yields. All the chiral calix[4]arene derivatives are in a cone conformation according to the ¹H NMR doublet–doublet pattern of the protons of the methylene groups between the phenol rings. The results of NMR and specific rotations indicate that the molecules have C₂ symmetry with asymmetric features.

Tube-type coordination polymers: two- and four-silver(I)-mediated linear networking of calix[4]arene tetracarboxylates

Two calix[4]arene tetracarboxylates, [calix[4]arene tetraacetate (K(4)CTA) and calix[4]arene tetrabenzoate (K(4)CTB)] as their potassium salts, have been prepared. Employing these as precursors, two Ag(I) coordination polymers incorporating calix[4]arene units have been successfully prepared and their X-ray crystal structures have been determined. In these, the CTA and CTB derivatives are linearly bound to two and four silver atoms, respectively, to generate unusual tubular nanostructures. A comparative NMR study was undertaken to investigate the nature of the metal ion blocking of the tube as observed in the CTA-derived structure. The thermal properties for both coordination polymers were also examined.     

Synthesis of cone, partial-cone, and 1,3-alternate 25, 27-Bis

The preparation of 25,27-bis[1-(2-ethyl)hexyl]- and 25, 27-bis[1-(2-tert-butoxy)ethyl]calix[4]arene-crown-6 combining one polyether crown-6 and one alkylchain O-attached on each side of a calix[4]arene in the cone, partial-cone, and 1,3-alternate conformations are reported. The control over 25, 27-bisalkylcalix[4]arene-crown-6 conformation via varying specific reaction conditions was studied. The series of calix[4]arenes have been prepared by two routes, which differ in the order in which the alkyl or polyether groups were introduced. Moreover, methods have been developed to selectively prepare the cone and partial-cone conformers by using an appropriate base in the alkylation reactions. The conformations of these new derivatives have been probed by (1)H NMR analysis and X-ray crystallography. The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of 25,27-bis[1-(2-ethyl)hexyl]calix[4]arene-crown-6, 1, 3-alternate 1, cone 2, and partial-cone 3 are also discussed.
