Syntheses,characterizations and properties of boronoalkylalkoxycalix[4]arenes

Some new calixarenes bearing boronic acid moieties, boronoalkylalkoxycalix[4]arenes, were synthesized by allylation, Claisen's rearrangement, alkylation, hydroboration and hydrolysis from 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene and their structures were identified by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹B NMR, MS and UV spectra. The UV data showed that tetraalkoxycalix[4]arene tetraalkyltriboronic acid could coordinate significantly with carbohydrates.     

Synthesis, characterization and photochromic studies of three novel calix[4]arene-Schiff bases

Synthesis and characterization of three novel Schiff bases based on calix[4]arene are described. The synthesis of these compounds had been achieved by the condensation of salicylaldehyde derivatives with the amine group of upper rim of de-butylcalix[4]arene in ethanol. The structures of new compounds were confirmed on the basis of IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, MS and elementary analysis. Photochromic properties of compounds were studied in CH(3)CN by UV/vis and fluorescence spectra. These Schiff base-calix[4]arene can be used in certain 'supermolecular electronic devices' through combining the photochromic behaviors with others such as non-linear optical or charge transfer properties.

Inherently chiral biscalixarene cone–cone conformers consisting of calix[4]arene and calix[5]arene subunits

Inherently chiral biscalixarenes with hetero-cavities were synthesized by a covalent assembly of p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene with a 1,3-substituted calix[4]arene via 1,3-alkylation reaction and subsequent desymmetrization. The racemates were resolved by chiral HPLC method. ¹H NMR spectra, VT-NMR spectra, and theoretical calculations support that the calix[5]arene subunit of the inherently chiral calix[4][5]arene ester adopts a cone-in conformation, with the aromatic ring bearing the CH₂CO₂Et group tilting inward the calix[5]arene cavity. By contrast, such a cone-in structural feature of the calix[5]arene subunit disappears for the corresponding inherently chiral calix[4][5]arene carboxylic acid, due to the intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the carboxyl group and an ethereal oxygen of the glycolic chain.     

Synthesis and spectral characterization of azo dyes derived from calix[4]arene and their application in dyeing of fibers

In this study, the synthesis and characterization of two new upper rim functionalized azocalix[4]arene dyes have been obtained by coupling calix[4]arene with different diazo compounds of 3,5-dicarboxyaniline and 4-aminobenzene sulphon amide. The characterization of these dyes has been carried out by elemental analysis, FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectra. The effect of varying dielectric constants of solvents on the absorption spectra of azocalix[4]arenes (1, 2, 3, 4) and commercial Isolan Gelb SGL (T) have been examined by UV–Vis spectrophotometer. These azocalix[4]arene dyes have also been used for dyeing textile fibers like cotton, wool, acetate, polyester and polyamide fibers. Their dyeing and fastness properties have also been discussed.     

Endo-cavity Complexes between Calix[6]arene Dianions and Aliphatic Ammonium Cations: Structure of a Hexylammonium Complex by X-ray Crystallography

The interactions of calix[6]arene and p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene with aliphatic amines in acetonitrile solution were studied by spectrophotometric titrations in the UV region and ¹H NMR spectrometry. Calix[6]arenes can undergo two deprotonations by aliphatic amines and the extent of the second proton transfer is mainly governed by the size of the α-substituent of the amine. ¹H NMR spectra show that the macrocycle adopts a 1,2,3-alternate conformation and that the α-hydrogens of the ammonium ions are shielded by the π-clouds of the aromatic rings. The X-ray crystal structure of the dihexylammonium complex of the p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene dianion, reported here, confirms the 1,2,3-alternate conformation and shows one of the two ammonium moieties encapsulated in the inner cavity of the macrocycle.     

The molecular recognition of tetra(p-t-butyl)tetrathiocalix[4]arene and its derivatives to heavy metal ions

The molecular recognition of tetra(p-t-butyl)tetrathiocalix[4]arene (I)and its three derivatives to heavy metal ions has been investigated by UV spectroscopy and solvent extraction. These derivatives include 5,11,17,23,-tetra-t-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(acetylmethoxy)tetrathiocalix[4]arene (II), 5,11,17,23-tetra-t-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(2'-hydroxypropyloxy) tetrathiocalix[4]arene (III), 5,11,17,23,-tetra-t-butyl-25,27-bis(3'-hydroxy propyloxy)tetrathiocalix[4]arene (IV). The UV spectra and solvent extraction of I show that it has an effective molecular recognition to heavy metal ions, especially to Cd(2+), while IV has a special molecular recognition to Ag(+) ion. These results confirmed the feasibilities for I to be applied in separation for toxic heavy metal ions Pb(2+), Cd(2+) and IV to be used as the sensor compound of Ag(+) ion-selective electrode.     

Highly selective fluorescent calix[4]arene chemosensor for acidic amino acids in pure aqueous media

A fluorescent chemosensor based on a calix[4]arene derivative conjugated with four thiophene-cyanoarylic acid groups at the upper rim displays high selectivity toward acidic amino acids in pure aqueous media through multiple H-bond interactions. The interactions of Asp/Glu with the chemosensor have been investigated by fluorescence and UV–Vis titrations, ESI-MS assay, ¹H NMR spectra, and molecular modeling method.     

Synthesis,structures, and conformational characteristics of calixarene monoanions and dianions

The synthesis, complete characterization, and solid state structural and solution conformation determination of calix[n]arenes (n = 4, 6, 8) is reported. A complete series of X-ray structures of the alkali metal salts of calix[4]arene (HC4) illustrate the great influence of the alkali metal ion on the solid state structure of calixanions (e.g., the Li salt of monoanionic HC4 is a monomer; the Na salt of monoanionic HC4 forms a dimer; and the K, Rb, and Cs salts exist in polymeric forms). Solution NMR spectra of alkali metal salts of monoanionic calix[4]arenes indicate that they have the cone conformation in solution. Variable-temperature NMR spectra of salts HC4.M (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) show that they possess similar coalescence temperatures, all higher than that of HC4. Due to steric hindrance from tert-butyl groups in the para position of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (Bu(t)C4), the alkali metal salts of monoanionic Bu(t)C4 exist in monomeric or dimeric form in the solid state. Calix[6]arene (HC6) and p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene (Bu(t)C6) were treated with a 2:1 molar ratio of M(2)CO(3) (M = K, Rb, Cs) or a 1:1 molar ratio of MOC(CH(3))(3) (M = Li, Na) to give calix[6]arene monoanions, but calix[6]arenes react in a 1:1 molar ratio with M(2)CO(3) (M = K, Rb, Cs) to afford calix[6]arene dianions. Calix[8]arene (HC8) and p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene (Bu(t)()C8) have similar reactivity. The alkali metal salts of monoanionic calix[6]arenes are more conformationally flexible than the alkali metal salts of dianionic calix[6]arenes, which has been shown by their solution NMR spectra. X-ray crystal structures of HC6.Li and HC6.Cs indicate that the size of the alkali metal has some influence on the conformation of calixanions; for example, HC6.Li has a cone-like conformation, and HC6.Cs has a 1,2,3-alternate conformation. The calix[6]arene dianions show roughly the same structural architecture, and the salts tend to form polymeric chains. For most calixarene salts cation-pi arene interactions were observed.

Construction of [1]rotaxanes with pillar[5]arene as the wheel and terpyridine as the stopper

The condensation reaction ofω-aminoalkyleneamide-functionalized pillar[5]arenes with 2-(4-([2,2’:6’,2〃-terpyridin]-4’-yl)phenoxy)acetic acid or 4-(4-([2,2’:6’,2"-terpyridin]-4’-yl)phenoxy)butanoic acid in dry chloroform at room temperature under the catalysis of HOBT/EDCl resulted in novel pillar[5]arene diamido-bridged terpyridine derivatives.~1 H NMR and 2 D NOESY spectra clearly indicated that the interesting[1]rotaxanes were formed by longer alkylene such as propylene,butylene and hexylenediamido chains threading into the cavity of the pillar[5]arene and with larger terpyridine acting as the stopper.However,the shorter ethylenediamido chain only exists outer of cavity of pillar[5]arene and the molecule exist on free form.

Complexation and chromatographic studies involving water soluble calixarenes and nitrophenols

Summary In this study, an investigation of the utilisation of the sodium salts of 4-sulphonic calix[4]arene and 4-sulphonic calix[6]arene as mobile phase additives in reversed phase HPLC is described. Consistent with earlier work these mobile phase additives were shown to strongly influence the retention behaviour and separation factor of 2-, 3- and 4-nitrophenols. Proton NMR and UV spectroscopic data is presented to demonstrate that this chromatographic behaviour is due to pH effects and not due to complexation between the nitrophenols and the calixarenes.

The absorption curves of the four possible calix[4]arene conformations: cone, partial cone, 1,2- and 1,3-alternate were computed. The bands characteristic for each conformation are defined and assigned. The obtained spectra-structure correlation can be used for the characteristic of calixarenes conformation.
