Extraction Behavior of Amino Acids by Calix[6]arene Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

A series of calixarene carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized for the extraction of amino acids. A calix[6]arene carboxylic acid derivative showed the highest extractability to the target tryptophan ester. The main driving forcefor the complexation was the interaction between the ammonium cation of the aminoacid and the oxygen atoms of the host molecule. Stripping of amino acids was alsoaccomplished by contacting the organic solution with a fresh acidic solution. Basedon slope and Job method analyses, it was confirmed that the calix[6]arene formsa 1 : 1 complex with the amino acid ester. The structure of the complex between the calix[6]arene and the amino acid was investigated by ¹H-NMR and CD spectra. The calix[6]arene includes a guest molecule in the cavity, and the inclusion induces the asymmetrization of the host molecule. This host compound functions as a novel recognition tool for amino acids.     

New Chiral Calixarene Derivatives： Syntheses and Their Chiral Recognition Toward Amino Acids by UV-Vis Spectroscopy

Three novel types of chiral calixarene derivatives 5, 8, and 10 were designed and synthesized by introducing chiral units to parent calixarenes. Their chiralities were confirmed by rotational analysis. Chiral recognition properties of these host compounds towards L- and D-threonine were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results indicated that calixarene derivatives 5 and 8 exhibited good chiral recognition capabilities toward L- or D-threonine. Although calixarene derivative 10 had no evident chiral recognition ability, the supramolecules of calixarene derivative 10 with L- or D-threonine showed a hypochromic effect or hyperchromic effect respectively. Therefore, calixarene derivative 10 might serve as a good chiral UV-indicator.     

The Synthesis of Nitrogen-Containing Calixarene Derivatives and their Interactions with Lead Ions

Several new nitrogen-containingcalixarene derivatives have been synthesized andtheir ion-binding properties investigated byUV spectroscopy and solventextraction. These derivatives include5,11,17,23-tetra-t-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(piperidinocarbonylmethoxy)calix[4]arene (5),5,11,17,23,29,35,41,47-octa-t-butyl-49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56-octa(piperidinocarbonylmethoxy)calix[8]arene (6) and5,11,17,23,29,35,41,47-octa-t-butyl-49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56-octa(N,N-diethyl-car-bamoyl-methoxy)calix[8]arene(7). The UV spectra of and 7revealed they had an ability to transform tight lead picrate ionpairs into separated ones by complexationwith Pb²⁺ in tetrahydrofuran.Both derivatives give 1 : 1 complexes with Pb²⁺. Extraction studies showed that these derivativescould efficiently extract Pb²⁺ (as picrate salts) from the aqueous phase into chloroform. Theextractability of these derivatives were also compared with that ofthe oxygen-containing ester derivative calix[8]arene 2 and the other two nitrogen-containingcompounds 8 and 9.

Solvent Extraction of Selenate and Chromate Using a Diaminocalix[4]arene

The extraction of Se(VI) and Cr(VI) using a diammoniumcalix[4]arene was investigated. A study of parameters such as ligand concentration, pH or diluent was carried out and allowed to specify the stoichiometry of the extracted species. It was shown that Se(VI) is extracted into CHCl₃ as (LH₂ ²⁺, Cl^-, HSeO₄ ^-) and ((LH₂ ²⁺)₂, 2Cl^-, SeO₄ ^2-)species at pH 2.6. An increase of pH or an addition of 5% or 10% decanol in CHCl₃ favors the extraction of SeO₄ ^2- over HSeO₄ ^- but leads to a drastic decrease of seleniumextraction. Cr(VI) was shown to be extracted as(LH₂ ²⁺, Cl^-, HCrO₄ ^-) at pH 2.6 and probably as (LH⁺, HCrO₄ ^-) for higher pH.     

Investigation of Metal Ion Complexation of π-Coordinate Calixarene Derivatives by Electrospray-Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Complexation of π-coordinate calix[4]arene derivatives toward soft metal ions, silver and thallium (I) ions, has been studied by electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry. Competitive metal–ion complexation of three calix[4]arene derivatives demonstrates a significant effect of olefinic substituents and its location on the silver ion complexation, but there was no effect of them on the thallium ion complexation. The stability constants for the metal ion complexes of the calixarene derivatives in methanol have been successfully determined by a mass-spectrometric method using 18-crown-6 as the reference ligand.

Electrochemistry of Calixarene and its Analytical Applications

The electrochemistry of calixarene as a redox-dependent ionophore and its structural dependence are described. One or more redox-centers such as quinone, ferrocene, cobaltocenium and ruthenium bipyridine moieties have been introduced into the calixarene frame of the lower or upper rim. Although the electrochemical behavior depends mainly on the inherent redox property of these electrochemically active groups, the structural effect and solvent also play important roles, especially, in the presence of charged guests. When cationic species such as metal ions and ammonium ion are added to a quinone-functionalized calixarene solution, electron transfer to quinone is enhanced by the electrostatic effect or the formation of hydrogen bonds. In addition to redox-active hosts for voltammetric use, a number of calixarenes with novel structures have been developed as ionophores for potentiometric analysis and found to be successful for some target ions. In terms of Na+, Cs+ and Ca2+ selective ionophores for ion-selective electrodes, calixarenes are found to be excellent compared to crown ether derivatives or cryptands. Calixarenes can be also utilized to construct chemically modified electrodes, which are sensitive to gas species and biologically important compounds. The sophisticated design and synthesis of calixarenes are essential to specific potential applications to diverse fields.

Chemical Chromogenic Sensors Based on Calixarenes: Syntheses and Recognition Properties for Alkylamines

Nitration of 1,3-distal dialkylated calix[4]arenes wasinvestigated in order to prepare chromogenic sensor compounds. There were three kinds of separableproducts, which came from the nitration and oxidation of the phenol moieties. The coneconformation of calix[4]arenes containing a quinone structure was first determined. And the effectof the structure of reactants for the nitration and oxidation is also discussed. Dinitratedcalix[4]arenes possess recognition ability for the alkylamines, which can be as the chromogenicsensors for determining the alkylamines. The recognition behavior was due to the protontransfer between alkylamine and calix[4]arenes, and the resulting ammonium phenoxide wasstabilized by the phenoxide oxygen atom and the carbonyl at the lower rim with hydrogen bonding.     

Design and Synthesis of New Chiral Calix[4]arenes as Liquid Phase Extraction Agents for α-Amino Acid Methylesters and Chiral α-Amines

The article describes the synthesis and extraction properties of new (S)-(-)-1-phenylethylamine substituted p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene/calix[4]arene. These compounds have been synthesized via nucleophilic substitution reactions involving 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetra(2-hydroxyethoxy)calix[4]arene (4a), or 5,11,17,23-tetra-H-25,26,27,28-tetra(2-hydroxyethoxy)calix[4]arene (4b) with (S)-(-)-1-phenylethylamine in dry THF. The extraction properties of ligands 5a and 5b towards the some selected α-amino acid methylesters and chiral α-amines are also reported. It has been observed that receptor 5a was an excellent ionophore for α-amino acid methylesters/α-amines and good extractant than 5b. However, both of the ligands did not display any selectivity towards the configurations of this species. in final form: 17 January 2005     

Reactions of Titanocene Derivatives with Molecular Carboxylic Acids and Copolymers Bearing Carboxylic Acid Groups

Linear, soluble copolymers containing titanium are of interest for use in targets for inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) experiments because the titanium is a useful spectroscopic probe for studying the nuclear fusion process. We have studied the reactions of dichloro- titanocene and diphenyltitanocene with carboxylic acids to determine if these can be used to prepare such polymers. Model reactions of dichlorotitanocene with p -toluic acid show that both mono- and di-carboxylates are formed. We have prepared a soluble titanium-containing copolymer via the reaction of poly(styrene- co -methacrylic acid) with an excess of dichlorotitanocene but attempts to remove the excess molecular titanocene from the copolymer result in crosslinking of the copolymer. Model reactions of benzoic and pivalic acids with diphenyltitanocene demonstrate that monosubstituted carboxylato(phenyl)titanocenes are formed but that these products are stable only at low temperatures and decompose readily at ambient temperature. Proton NMR studies of the reaction of diphenyltitanocene and benzoic acid at −20 °C indicate that this reaction is second order, suggesting that the reaction does not proceed through a benzyne intermediate. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
