Calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycles

Supramolecular chemistry is an interdisciplinary scientific field, including chemical, physical and biological properties of more complex chemical species than the molecules themselves. Calixarenes/calixresorcinarenes are macrocyclic compounds, consisting of ‘n’ phenolic/resorcinolic units linked together by methylene bridges; these macrocycles are often used for molecular recognition. Thus, different modifications can be made to both the lower and upper rim, allowing the construction of well-defined multivalent buildings. In this work, three calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycles were synthesized, namely C-dec-9-en-1-ylcalix[4]resorcinarene (CAL 11U), C-trans-2, cis-6-octa-1,5-dien-1-ylcalix[4]resorcinarene (CAL 9U) and C-nonylcalix[4]resorcinarene (CAL 10) by a simple condensation reaction. The compounds CAL 11U and CAL 10 have been already synthesized by researchers, while the CAL 9U has been synthesized for the first time. Their structures were confirmed using ATR-FTIR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR. Thermal analysis combined with mass spectrometric evolved analysis of the vapors was used to study the thermal behavior of the different synthesized molecules, and they were the subject of characterization by X-ray powder diffraction in order to analyze their degree of crystallinity.

Preferred Conformations of Calix[4]- and Calix[6]arenes,Calculated ab initio

Ab initio STO-2G calculations showed that the preferred conformation of a series of calix[6]arenes substituted at the upper rim is a compressed cone stabilized by a pseudo-ring of six hydrogen bonds with close characteristics. The endocyclic dihedral angles between the benzene ring planes, characterizing the molecular shape of the above macrocyclic compounds in this conformation, were calculated. The calculation results are consistent with the conformational data obtained by other theoretical methods and describe the characteristics of hydrogen bonds more adequately, in agreement with the experimental data and with the existing concepts of the hydrogen bonding efficiency.     

Mono Halogen Substituted Calix[4]pyrroles: Fine-tuning the Anion Binding Properties of Calix[4]pyrrole

Abstract

Single halogen atom (i. e. I, Br, Cl and F) substituted calix[4]pyrroles, compounds 2, 3, 4 and 5, were synthesized. Studies of these systems reveal that replacement of a single β-pyrrolic hydrogen atom can increase the anion binding ability of calix[4]pyrroles for a variety of anions (e. g. Cl^?, Br^?, H₂PO₄ ^? and HSO^? ₄) relative to normal non-halogen substituted calix[4]pyrrole 1. In the case of chloride anion, the expected relative affinity sequence of 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 was observed. This was not found to be true for Br^?, H²PO^? ₄, and HSO^? ₄. Here, the chlorine substituted calix[4]pyrrole 4 was found to display a slightly higher affinity in the case of each anion than the fluorine-bearing derivative 5. This was rationalized in terms of intermolecular NH … F hydrogen bonding interactions being present in CD₂Cl₂ solutions of 5. Support for this latter conclusion came from concentration and temperature-dependent NMR spectroscopic studies.

A matched set of mono halogen substituted calix[4]pyrroles was used to study in detail, the extent to which halogen substituents may be used to fine-tune the anion binding properties of calix[4]pyrroles.     

Calix[4]- and calix[5]arene-based multicavity macrocycles

Synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structures of mixed triple and double calixarenes 6 and 7, obtained from the base-catalyzed condensation of calix[5]arene 1 with cone pertosylated calix[4]arene 2, are reported. VT-NMR studies on 7 are consistent with a molecular motion arising from the anti-gauche conformational interconversion of its ethylene linkages.     

Calix[4]arenequinazolinones. Synthesis and structure

The synthesis of calix[4]arenes bearing two quinazolin-4-ones group at the upper rim is decribed. ¹H NMR spectra and quantum chemical calculations make it possible to suggest that calix[4]arenequinazolinones form three rotamers in solutions at room temperature, due to the restricted rotation of the quinazolinone fragments. The X-ray structure investigation indicates that quinazolin-4-onecalix[4]arene exists in the crystal state as the methanol 1:1 inclusion complex.     

Synthesis of p-Formylphenylazo Calix [ 4 ]arenes

Calixarenes are a versatile class of macrocyclic compounds, which have attracted extensive interest due to their ability to form host-guest complexes and act as enzyme mimic. Moreover, a number of calixarenes with D-π-A units have been synthesized, and their second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties investigated.     

Calix[4]arene nitroxide tetraradical and octaradical
