Syntheses and Properties of New Pendant‐armed Calix[4]arene Derivatives as Cesium Selective Ionophore

Two new pendant‐armed calix[4]arene derivatives 5 and 6 have been synthesized. The study of alkali metal picrates extraction indicates that both compounds show preference of cesium cation, compound 6 in 1,3‐alternate conformation has better extractibility for Cs⁺ than compound 5. The coordination behavior of compound 6 with cesium cation was studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The Cs⁺ selective electrode based on compound 6 exhibits a linear, near Nernstian response characteristics, the slope is 56.4 mV/decade in me concentration range of 10^?4—10^?1 mol/L, the selectivity coefficient (logK^pot_Cs.Na) is ?3.39.     

Extraction of Strontium and Cesium by Dicarbollides, Crown Ethers and Functionalized Calixarenes

The two main classes of extractantsused for the extraction of cesium and strontium aredicarbollides and crown ethers. Dicarbollides wereused on a large scale for the extraction of these twoelements from high-activity waste. The basicdicarbollides present drawbacks since they need to bediluted in polar solvent such as nitrobenzene and theirefficiency strongly decreases as the acidity of liquidwaste increases. Crown ethers enable cesium andstrontium to be extracted if the concentration ofsodium or the acidity of solutions are not too high.Recently, calixarenes blocked in the 1,3-alternateconformation were used for the selective extractionof cesium, even from high-salt waste matrices.

The alkali metal extraction study established that this compound shows the high selectivity toward Cs⁺ among alkali metal cations. The cesium binding characteristics were investigated with ¹H NMR and UV spectroscopy.

Triptycene‐Derived Calix[6]arenes: Synthesis,Structures, and Their Complexation with Fullerenes C60 and C70

Two pairs of novel triptycene‐derived calix[6]arenes 4 a , b and 5 a , b have been efficiently synthesized through both one‐pot and two‐step fragment‐coupling strategies starting from 2,7‐bis(hydroxymethyl)‐1,8‐dimethoxytriptycene 1 . Subsequent demethylation of 4 a , b and 5 a , b with BBr₃ in dry dichloromethane gave the macrocyclic compounds 6 a , b and 7 a , b . Treatment of either 4 a or 6 a with AlCl₃ resulted in the same debutylated product 8 , while 9 was similarly obtained from either 5 a or 7 a . Structural studies revealed that all of the macrocycles have well‐defined structures with fixed conformations both in solution and in the solid state owing to the introduction of the triptycene moiety with a rigid three‐dimensional (3D) structure, making them very different from their classical calix[6]arene counterparts. As a consequence, it was found that all of these the triptycene‐derived calix[6]arenes could encapsulate small neutral molecules in their cavities in the solid state. Moreover, it was also found that the macrocycles 4 b and 5 b showed highly efficient complexation abilities toward fullerenes C₆₀ and C₇₀, forming 1:1 complexes with association constants ranging from (5.22±0.20)×10⁴ to (8.68±0.30)×10⁴ M ^?1.     

Mixed ``Amide-phosphoryl' Calix[4]arenes. On the Selectivity of Two Conformers Towards Alkali Ion Complexation

The binding properties of cone-5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis(diethylcarbamoyl-methoxy)-26,28-bis(diphenylphosphinoylmethoxy)calix[4] arene (cone-1) towards alkali metals have beencompared with those of the corresponding partial-cone conformer (paco- 1). Bothhybrid ligands form stable complexes with alkalipicrates in tetrahydrofuran having a 1 : 1cation/ligand ratio. Regarding extractability, thatpresented by cone-1 decreases continuallyon-going from Li/Na to Cs, while that for paco-1 presents a peak selectivity for Na (withthe following order Na > K > Rb > Li > Cs).These selectivities parallel, respectively, resultsobtained for extraction and transport experiments. Thekinetics of the alkali metal thiocyanate transportthrough a bulk liquid membrane containing theseligands in 1,2-dichloroethane could be rationalised interms of a simple mathematical model. The lowertransfer coefficients found for paco-1 relative to cone-1 reflect the larger sizeof the diffusing paco-complex.     

Ion Complexation Properties of Calix[6]Arene Derivatives: I. 1,4-Calix[6]Crown-4 Derivatives

Abstract

A series of 1,4-p-tert-butyl-calix[6]crown-4 tetraesters, tetraamides, tetraacids with defined conformation have been synthesized, and their complexation properties towards metal ions and alkyl ammonium ions were investigated systematically. It was found that 1,4-p-tert-butyl-calix[6]crown-4 tetraethylester (3a) and 1,4-p-tert-butyl-calix[6]benzocrown-4 tetramethyl-ester (4b) show high selectivity towards Na⁺, Li⁺, respectively and all of them exhibit high complexation abilities towards Et₂NH₂ ⁺ cation.     

Calix[4]arene‐Based Bis(Nitric Oxide) Complexes: Synthesis,Physical Properties,and Structural Characterization

Calix[4]arene‐based molecules hold great promise as candidate sensors and storage materials for nitric oxide (NO), owing to their unprecedented binding affinity for NO. However, the structure of calix[4]arene is complicated by the availability of four possible conformers: 1,3‐alternate, 1,2‐alternate, cone, and partial cone (paco). Whilst complexes of NO with several of these conformers have previously been established, the 1,2‐alternate conformer complex, that is, [1,2‐alter ? NO]⁺, has not been previously reported. Herein, we determine the crystal structure of the NO complex with the 1,2‐alternate conformer for the first time. In addition, we have also found that the 1,2‐alternate and 1,3‐alternate conformers can combine with two NO molecules to form stable bis(nitric oxide) complexes. These new complexes, which exhibit remarkable binding capacity for the construction of NO‐storage molecules, were characterized by using X‐ray crystallography and NMR, IR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. These findings will extend our understanding of the interactions between nitric oxide and cofacially and non‐cofacially arrayed aromatic rings, and we expect them to aid in the design and development of new supramolecular sensors and storage materials for NO with high capacity and efficacy.

New Azothiacalix[4]arenes Containing Biheterocyclic Subunits: Extraction and Complexation Properties

New thiacalix[4]arenes 2a, 3a, 4 and 5 functionalized with biheterocyclic and azophenyl groups at the lower rim and the upper rim of the macrocycle, respectively, were synthesized and their extraction properties towards Cu²⁺, Ag⁺, Ni²⁺ and Pb²⁺ studied. The complexation properties of the bithiazolyl receptors 2a, 4 and the bipyridyl receptors 3a, 5 were investigated by fluorescence and UV–visible titrations, respectively. The stoichiometries of the complexes were determined. A stoichiometry of 1:1 was found for the Cu-2a, Ag-3a complexes and 2:1 for the Cu₂-4, Ag₂-5 complexes as a function of the number of grafted bithiazolyl groups. The association constants for the 1:1 complexes were calculated using the Benesi–Hildebrand plot and by linear regression analysis.     

Calix[4]arene-based bis[2]catenanes: synthesis and chiral resolution

The exclusive formation of hydrogen-bonded dimers between tetraaryl and tetratosylurea calix[4]arenes has been used to prepare a series of ten "bisloop" tetraurea calix[4]arenes 3, in which adjacent phenylurea groups are covalently linked through alpha,omega-dioxyalkane chains. This dimerization with tetratosylurea 2 as template preorganizes the alkenyl residues of tetra(m-alkenyloxyphenyl) ureas 1 and enables their selective connection in high yield (up to 95 %) by olefin metathesis followed by hydrogenation. The "bisloop" calixarenes 3 also exclusively form heterodimers with 1. Thus, in a separated metathesis/hydrogenation sequence, a series of 14 cyclic bis[2]catenanes 4, in which two calix[4]arenes are connected through their wide rims by two pairs of interlocked rings (total size 29 to 41 atoms), were prepared in yields of up to 97 %. Optical resolution of these chiral bis[2]catenanes was studied by HPLC on chiral stationary phases. The single-crystal X-ray structure of one example (4(P,10)) confirmed the interlocking rings and revealed that the hydrogen-bonded dimeric capsule of the calix[4]arene can be "completely" opened.     

New Upper Rim Pyridine-Bridged Calix[4]arenes: Synthesis and Complexation Properties toward Neutral Molecules and Ammonium Ions in Organic Media

A new series of calix[4]arenes, diametrically bridged at the upper rim with pyridino systems, has been synthesized. The shape, rigidity, and chemical structure of the bridge influence the host-guest complexation properties of these systems in solution toward several neutral molecules having acidic C-H bonds. Additionally, selective complexation of methylammonium tosylate in comparison with other ammonium salts has been observed and the strength of this complexation enhanced by electron-donor ability of the p-substituent on the pyridine moiety of the calixarene host. X-ray crystal structures of endo complexes of host 5with malononitrile and nitromethane have been resolved, verifying specific C-H bonding with the hard oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the bridge and the soft aromatic ring of the calixarene.     

Synthesis,Complexation and Photophysics of 1,3-alternate Calix[4]arene-crowns-6 Bearing Fluorophoric Units on the Bridge

Abstract

Three new calix[4]arene-crown-6 derivatives bearing a fluorophoric unit on the ether bridge were synthesized. All these compounds complex alkali metal picrates in chloroform, and the naphthocrown (2) shows the highest efficiency for cesium ion binding among the calix-crown-6 known so far. Cesium over sodium selectivity is remarkably higher in acetonitrile than in chloroform solution. ¹H NMR studies, carried out in CDCl₃ on the cesium picrate complex of ligand 2, show that the anion is involved in a π-π stacking with the naphthyl unit The lariat calix[4]-crown-6 (4) does not show any relevant change in absorption and fluorescence spectra upon cesium binding, thus indicating that the dansyl unit is not perturbed by metal ion complexation. On the contrary, for ligands 2 and 3 a luminescence intensity decrease is observed upon cation binding, which allows an easy detection of cesium even at very low concentrations (10^?7M).
