An excellent copper selective chemosensor based on calix[4]arene framework

The article depicts a detailed study regarding copper selective chemosensing and complexation nature of 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(N,N-diphenylamino)methyl]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (PAC4). Its photophysical characteristics in various solvents of different polarities along with the influence of acid and base on its spectral properties in these solvents are also discussed. The complexation affinity of PAC4 with regard to its latent applications as Cu(II) selective colorimetric and fluorescent sensor among the selected series of various cations such as Li(I), Na(I), K(I), Rb(I), Ba(II), Sr(II), Al(III), Fe(III), Cd(II), Co(II), Hg(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) was examined by UV–visible and fluorescence emission spectroscopy in dichloromethane:acetonitrile (DCM:MeCN) solvent system. In addition, the process of complexation has been investigated through Job's plot and it has been observed that the complex between PAC4 and Cu(II) is formed in 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. The complex formation between PAC4 and Cu(II) has also been confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA).     

Supramolecular assembly of a succinyl-calix[4]arene derivative in multilamellar vesicles

Abstract

Amphiphilic calixarenes are interesting building blocks with high propensity to assemble in well-defined supramolecular architectures. In this work, we report that a succinyl-calix[4]arene derivative (2), exposing four terminal carboxylic acid groups at the calixarene upper rim and four dodecyl chains at the lower rim, forms discrete and stable nanoaggregates in aqueous medium. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images showed that the aggregates of 2 possess a spherical shape and a vesicular structure with a multilamellar wall. The vesicular nature was confirmed by encapsulation of a hydrophilic dye rhodamine B. A preliminary study also evidenced that compound 2 increases water solubility of a hydrophobic drug such as curcumin.     

Controlling the Size and Morphology of Supramolecular Assemblies of Viologen–Resorcin[4]arene Cavitands

A novel class of self‐assembling nanoparticles is formed with viologen–resorcin[4]arene cavitands; the association model is strongly controlled by their hydrophobicity. Interestingly, the cavitand assemblies are designed through click chemistry to form self‐assembled noncovalently connected aggregates through counterion displacement. The iodide and benzoate ions are utilized as strongly polarizable counterions to induce cavitand self‐assembly. The counterion‐mediated decrease in hydrophilicity of the viologen–resorcin[4]arenes is the underlying trigger to induce particle formation. These particles can be used as nanocontainers and find their applications in delivery systems.     

A [2]catenane containing an upper-rim functionalized calix[4]arene for anion recognition

A novel [2]catenane is synthesized in good yield from an upper-rim functionalized calix[4]arene macrobicycle and a nitro-substituted isophthalamide threading component in the presence of a chloride anion template via a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction. After halide anion template removal the resulting catenane host exhibits a high degree of selectivity for chloride in competitive organic solvent mixtures.     

Naphth[4]arene: Synthesis,Conformations, and Application in Color-Tunable Supramolecular Crystalline Assemblies

Although the chemistry of macrocyclic arenes has seen rapid development in recent years, the synthesis of new macrocyclic arenes from aromatic rings with no directing groups remains a challenge. In this work, a new macrocyclic arene, naphth[4]arene (NA[4]A), composed of four naphthalene rings bridged by methylene groups, was synthesized using macrocycle-to-macrocycle conversion. NA[4]A shows 1,3-alternate and 1,2-alternate conformations in the solid state, which can be selectively obtained. By supramolecular co-assembly of NA[4]A and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) in different concentrations and temperatures, two conformation-dependent crystalline luminescent co-assemblies 1,2-NTC and 1,3-NTC can be selectively prepared. Interestingly, the two charge-transfer crystalline assemblies containing NA[4]A with different conformations show bright yellow and green fluorescence, and also display high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of 45 % and 43 %. Furthermore, they exhibit color-tunable two-photon excited upconversion emission.

An Antitumor Dual-Responsive Host-Guest Supramolecular Polymer Based on Hypoxia-Cleavable Azocalix[4]arene

The exploitation of specific guests which can respond to external stimuli is the main approach for the construction of stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymers (SPs) based on host–guest interactions. Most functional guests, however, fail to manifest stimuli-responses. Herein, a hypoxia-responsive dimeric azocalixarene (D-SAC4A) with outstanding hosting properties was used as the macrocyclic building block for the preparation of host stimuli-responsive SPs. Since azocalixarenes can also be compatible with stimuli-responsive guests, an antitumor drug, camptothecin (CPT), was chosen and linked via a disulfide-containing linker to afford a glutathione (GSH)-responsive ditropic guest (D-CPT). A unique dual-responsive SP was obtained by 1 : 1 mixing of D-SAC4A and D-CPT in water, which further assembled into SP nanoparticles (DSPNs). DSPNs displayed outstanding stability against dilution and biological interferants, as well as precise CPT-release under GSH and hypoxia conditions. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the good biosafety and tumor-suppressive effects of DSPNs.     

Asymmetric calix[4]-thiacalix[4]arene tubes: Synthesis and ionophore properties

Asymmetric p-tert-butylcalix[4]-p-R-thiacalix[4]arene tubes (R = tert-Bu, H, 1-adamantyl) were prepared for the first time by reaction of tosyloxyethoxy derivative of p-tert-butylcalix-[4]arene and the corresponding p-R-thiacalix[4]arenas in acetonitrile in the presence of K₂CO₃. Complex formation of compounds obtained with sodium, potassium, and rubidium iodides in CDCl₃-CD₃OD, 4:1, was studied by means of ¹H NMR. The ionophore properties of the molecule were governed by the character of substituents on the upper rim of the thiacalixarene fragment, and only the molecular tube containing a fragment of the p-(1-adamantyl)-thiacalix[4]arene quantitatively bound potassium ions (quickly) and rubidium ions (slowly).

The title calixarene exists in the solid state as bi-layer of anionic calixarene in the cone configuration. These layers alternate with inorganic regions which contain the sodium cations and the water molecules.
