The Synthesis of Ester and Ketone Derivatives of Azocalix[4]arene Containing Chromogenic Groups

Azocalix[4]arenes were prepared by linking 4-ethylaniline, 4-n-butylaniline, 4-acetamide aniline and 2-aminothiazol to calix[4]arene through a diazo-coupling reaction. A new family of azocalix[4]arenes, L1–L12, have been prepared by the incorporation of acetyl, benzoyl, and methyl ketone units to azocalix[4]arene. Characterization of the synthesized compounds was carried using elemental analyses, UV–Vis, IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopic studies.

Synthesis of Flavin–Calix[4]arene Conjugate Derivatives

The synthesis of two new flavin substituted calix[4]arene derivatives, 9 and 10 , is described. The first flavin substituted calix[4]arene derivative 9 was synthesized by the reaction of 3‐methylalloxazine ( 5 ) with 25,27‐bis(3‐bromopropoxy)‐26,28‐dihydroxy‐5,11,17,23‐tetra(tert‐butyl)calix[4]arene ( 4 ) in high yield (92%). The other derivative 10 was prepared from 3‐methylalloxazine‐1‐acetic acid ( 7 ) and 25,27‐bis(3‐cyanopropoxy)calix[4]arene ( 3 ). All new compounds were characterized by a combination of FT‐IR and ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy, and elemental‐analysis techniques.     

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.     

Synthesis of （p-Formylphenyl）azo Calix[4]arenes

Synthesis, IR and NMR characterization and ion extraction properties of tetranonylcalix[4]resorcinol bearing acetylhydrazone groups

A series of new calix[4]resorcinarenes (rccc-isomer) and resorcinols functionalized by acetylhydrazone binding fragments have been synthesized. The IR and NMR data and stereochemical behaviour of hydrazones are reported and compared with the results of earlier investigations. The barriers of rotation of hydrazone fragments for some octahydrazone derivatives of calix[4]resorcinarenes and their resorcinol analogues have been determined by NMR-measurements. The complexing behaviour of bis- and octahydrazones has been studied by liquid-liquid extraction towards the s-metal ions (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cs⁺ and Ca²⁺), p-metal ions (Pb²⁺), d-metal ions (Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺ and Hg²⁺) and f-metal ions (La³⁺, Gd³⁺ and Lu³⁺). The stoichiometry of complexes and the extraction constants have been determined. It has been established that octahydrazones do not extract alkali metal cations but show excellent selectivity towards transition and soft heavy metal cations (especially Hg²⁺ or Pb²⁺).     

Calix[4]quinones. Part 4: The ClO2 oxidation of calix[4]arene dialkyl ethers

Except for the special case of calix[4]arene diethyl ether 1, the chlorine dioxide oxidation of dialkyl ethers 2-5 yielded only the corresponding calix[4]diquinone dialkyl ethers 8-11. Chlorine dioxide oxidation of calix[4]arene diethyl ether 1 produced two isomeric products 6 and 7, which were stable enough to be isolated by column chromatography. However, a slow conformational interconversion between isomeric pair 6 and 7 was observed at room temperature, and the equilibrium was reached after 400 h at 18 °C with an amount of 5:3 in favor of syn-isomer.     

Synthesis and self-assembly of novel calix[4]arenocrowns: formation of calix[4]areno[2]catenanes

A series of novel calix[4]arenocrowns 1a-c were efficiently synthesized by a one-pot reaction of calix[4]monohydroquinone diacetate 5 with ditosylate 6 and its analogues in the presence of sodium hydroxide. It was found that the calix[4]arenocrowns could form stable pseudorotaxane-type complexes 2a-c with paraquat, and further self-assemble into calix[4]areno[2]catenanes 3a-c with dicationic salt 8 and p-bis(bromomethyl)benzene.     

邻甲氧基羰基苄氧基取代杯[4]芳烃衍生物的合成及其性能研究

杯芳烃是继冠醚、环糊精之后的第三代主体分子[1].据文献[2,3]报道,在杯[4]芳烃下沿酚氧原子上连接乙酸酯得到的四取代衍生物对Na+有很高的选择性,核磁与晶体结构研究均证实这是由于羧酸酯的羰基和酚氧基参与了对Na+的配位,而且配位基团所形成的包络空间大小与钠离子相匹配.一般认为,随着包络空间改变,对金属离子的识别作用会有所变化[4].但目前对这方面的工作并没有给予更多的重视.我们发现,用2-溴甲基苯甲酸甲酯与杯[4]芳烃反应,得到了一种新的四取代杯[4]芳烃衍生物[2]萃取研究结果表明,该化合物对钾离子有较好的选择性.此外,在合成该衍生物的过程中,还得到了另一新的二取代衍生物(3).     

Thiocalix[4] arenes. I. Synthesis and structure of ethylthiocalix[4]arene methyl ether and the related structure of bromocalix[4]arene methyl ether

Bromocalix[4]arene methyl ether serves as a precursor in the synthesis of the title thiocalixarene via the reagent CuSEt. Ethylthiocalix[4]arene methyl ether crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c witha = 20.577(9),b, = 10.722(5),c = 20.315(9) Å, = 120.46(4)°, andD _c = 1.24 g cm^–3 forZ = 4. Refinement based on 1441 observed reflections led toR = 0.080. The configuration of the calixarene lies between the partial cone and the 1,3-altemate conformations. Bromocalix[4]arene methyl ether crystallizes in the triclinic space groupPI witha = 12.283(7),b = 17.658(9),c = 18.118(6) Å, = 90.25(6), = 105.95(4), = 105.11(6)°, andD _c = 1.68 g cm^–3 forZ = 4. Refinement based on 3028 observed reflections led toR = 0.083. The unit cell also contains four CHCl₃ molecules which exist pairwise enclathrated by six calixarenes. The partial cone conformation of the bromocalixarene is identical to that of ethylthiocalix[4]arene methyl ether.

Synthesis and Absorption Properties of Calix[6]amides—based Polymers

Reacting calix[6]arene hexaesters with poly(ethyleneimine),a series of calix[6]amidesbased polymers were obtained for the first time.It is found that they show high absorption capacities towards soft cations comparing to hard cations,and the absorption abilities enhanced with the increasing of calixarene content,which may indicates the cavity of calixarene plays crucial role in absorption.Polymer 2c shows good selective absorption capability towards Ag^ among the tested cations.     

Synthesis and fluorescence sensing properties of novel pyrene-armed calix[4]arene derivatives

Fluorogenic tert-butylcalix[4]arenes bearing two pyrene pendant groups at the lower rim were synthesized. Based on ratiometric changes of monomer and excimer emissions, the pyrene amine derivative of calix[4]arene has been found to act as a selective sensor for Pb²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions, respectively, due to a conformational change upon chelation of these ions.     

Potentiometric sensors based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with sulfonated calix[4]arene and calix[4]resorcarenes

Potentiometric ion sensors have been prepared by galvanostatic electrosynthesis of the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with p-sulfonated calix[4]arene (C[4]S) and p-methylsulfonated calix[4]resorcarenes (R_n[4]S) with alkyl substituents of different chain length (R₁=CH₃; R₂=C₂H₅; R₃=C₆H₁₃). The bowl-shape of these doping ions makes them suitable as ionic recognition sites, and their bulky character is expected to prevent them from leaching out of the conducting polymer membrane. For comparison, sensors based on PEDOT doped with poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and poly(vinyl sulfonate) (PVS) were also constructed. The resulting GC/PEDOT electrodes were conditioned in 0.01 mol L^–1 AgNO₃ and their performance as Ag⁺ ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) studied. Results reveal that selectivity and lifetime of the electrodes is affected by the doping anion structure, although all electrodes show selectivity towards Ag⁺ ions. Interaction of Ag⁺ with sulfur atoms present in the conducting polymer backbone is considered to be the main reason for this behavior. A second set of electrodes was constructed and conditioned in 0.1 mol L^–1 KCl. These electrodes were tested in chloride solutions of quaternary ammonium cations, showing that C[4]S and R₂[4]S exhibit significant sensitivity towards pyridinium.Dedicated to Professor György Horányi on the occasion of his 70th birthday in recognition of his outstanding contributions to electrochemistry
