一种基于硫杂杯[4]芳烃的高效银离子载体

合成了基于下缘含有酰肼基团的硫杂杯芳烃衍生物的银离子载体1,其核磁研究证实硫杂杯芳烃以1,3-交替构象存在,并且通过非竞争萃取实验和竞争萃取实验研究了它对碱金属和过渡金属离子（Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cs⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Ag⁺）的键合能力和选择性。实验结果表明：将酰肼基团引入1,3-交替构象的硫杂杯芳烃骨架的下缘可以提高其对Ag⁺的键合能力和选择性,同时,对Cu²⁺的萃取能力较弱,对碱金属离子和其它的重金属离子几乎没有萃取能力。进一步的核磁滴定和电喷雾质谱实验显示化合物1与银离子形成配合物的配合计量比为1：1,由此推断主要由“N-Ag⁺”配位键以及硫杂杯芳烃骨架的协同作用构成了化合物1与银离子的配合模式。     

Synthesis of calix[4]arene(amido)monocrowns and their photoresponsive derivatives

A series of new calix[4]arene(amido)mono-crown compounds have been synthesized through aminolysis of calix[4]arene esters and intramolecular cyclization of the intermediates. The title compounds were converted into their nitro and azo substituted derivatives to provide novel photoresponsive molecular receptors for transition metal ions. Single crystal X-ray analysis of calix[4]arene(ethyleneamido)mono-crown (2a) revealed that the compound is present in a cone conformation with an amido loop that caps the lower rim of calix[4]arene cavity to result in stacking along axis a and axis c to provide supramolecular aggregates in the solid state. Evaluation of synthesized macrocycles in the solution phase for recognition of transition metal cations (Cr³⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg⁺, Hg²⁺, Pd²⁺, and Pt²⁺) by UV-visible spectroscopy revealed that p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene mono-(amidocrown) 1c selectively shows a blue shift at 38 nm on interaction with Hg⁺ ions.     

p-tert-Butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene/p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arene: Transition and Heavy Metal Cation Extraction and Transport Studies by Ketone and Ester Derivatives

The binding properties of two phenylketones (2a and 3a) and two ethylesters (2b and {3b) derived from p-tert-butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene or from p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene, in the cone conformation, towards transition (Ag⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe²⁺ and Mn²⁺) and heavy (Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺) metal cations have been determined by extraction studies with metal picrates and liquid membrane transport experiments with the same salts. The affinity of these ligands for Ag⁺ has also been investigated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Both ketones are better extractants than the esters, and show a strong preference for Ag⁺, while Cu²⁺ is the most extracted cation with the esters. ¹H NMR titrations with AgSO₃CF₃ indicate 1 : 1 complexes for all ligands, those with ketones are more stable, on the NMR time scale, than those with esters. Both esters are good carriers for Ag⁺, and 2b exhibits the highest transport rate (4.7 mol h^-1) found until now with dihomooxacalix[4]arene derivatives.     

Ester and Ketone Groups Substituted Mono- and Di- Azo-coupled Azocalix[4]arenes as Extractant for Hg+ and Hg2+, or Cr3+Cations

This article describes extraction properties of mono- (A1–A8) and di- (B1–B8) substituted azocalix[4]arene analogues. The ionophore solvent extractions of alkaline-earth (Sr²⁺), basic metal (Pb²⁺) and transition metal cations (Ag⁺, Hg⁺, Hg²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cr³⁺) from aqueous phase to organic phase were carried out by azocalix[4]arene derivatives. It has been observed that they show a good extraction behavior toward selected heavy metal (Hg) and toxic metal (Cr), while A4 and B4 prefer Hg⁺, Hg²⁺ and Cr³⁺ among transition metal cations, respectively. The azocalix[4]arenes (A1–A8) and (B1–B8) are not efficient extractants for all of the selected metal cations, whereas A4 and B4 are selective only for Hg metal cation.     

Hard–Soft Receptors, Tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy] thiacalix[4]arene Derivatives with cone and 1,3-alternate Conformation

Direct O-alkylation of p-tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene with N,N-diethylchloroacetamide afforded two conformational isomers (1,3-alternate and cone) of tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene and 1,3-disubstituted bis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene, depending on the base used. The complaxation behaviors of the tetrakis isomers were assessed by ¹H NMR titration experiments. Evidence of 1:2 (homo- and hetero-dinuclear) complexes formation of 1,3-alternate-tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene with alkali (K⁺ and Na⁺) or transition (Ag⁺) metal ions was obtained. Interestingly, it was found that the cone-tetrakis[(N,N-diethylaminocarbonyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene required a prior Ag⁺ complexation to form 1:2 heterodinuclear complex.

Thiacalixarene Derivatives Incorporated in Optical-Sensing Membranes for Metal Ion Recognition

This work deals with the evaluation of different thiacalix[4]arene derivatives included in polymeric PVC membranes for the optical sensing of metallic cations. Two ligands have been studied: thiacalix[4]arene (ligand 4) and its p-tert-butyl-derivative (ligand 2). Membranes including ligand 4 were tested for different metals and better results were obtained for Cd²⁺, Ag⁺, and Pb²⁺. In the case of films incorporating the neutral ionophore, ligand 2, a pH sensitive dye (ETH 2439), and an anionic additive were also added. A selective response to Ag⁺ was achieved in acetate buffer at pH 5.     

Supramolecular self-assemblies of stereoisomers of p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arenes functionalized with hydrazide groups at the lower rim with some metal cations

Novel p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arenes functionalized with hydrazide groups at the lower rim in cone, partial cone and 1,3-alternate conformations were synthesized and their receptor properties toward metal ions of p- (Al³⁺, Pb²⁺) and d- (Fe³⁺, Co³⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ag⁺, Cd²⁺) elements were investigated by picrate extraction and dynamic light scattering (DLS). It was shown that the p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arenes functionalized with hydrazide groups are effective extractants of soft metal cations. The complex stoichiometry depended on the receptor configuration. All the p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arene derivatives with hydrazide fragments were able to form nanoscale aggregates but did not show self-association abilities.     

Self-assembly of nanosized aggregates based on the photoswitchable <Emphasis Type="Italic">p-tert</Emphasis>-butyl thiacalix[4]arene derivative and Fe <Superscript>III</Superscript>, Cu<Superscript>II</Superscript>, and Ag<Superscript>I</Superscript> cations

New p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arene tetrasubstituted at the lower rim and containing the azobenzene fragments in the 1,3-alternate configuration was synthesized. Its receptor properties with respect to d-metal cations (Fe ³⁺, Cu²⁺, Ag⁺) were studied using UV spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The ability of p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arene to molecular recognition of silver cations was estimated by UV spectroscopy. The aggregation of these systems was studied by the dynamic light scattering method.     

Excellent Ag+ selective receptors: Syntheses and complexation properties of novel biscalix[4]arene with benzalazine groups

By reacting mono-substituted or 1,3-bi-substituted [2-(p-formylphenyloxy)ethyloxy]-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (3 or 4) with hydrazine hydrate in ‘1+2’ or ‘2+2’ condensation mode, novel benzalazine-bridging biscalix[4]arenes 5 and 7 were conveniently obtained in the yields of 76 and 81%, respectively. Condensation of compound 4 and salicylide hydrazone gave a novel calix[4]arene benzalazine derivative 6 in the yield of 85%. The structures and conformations of all new compounds were characterised by elemental analyses, ESI-MS, ¹H NMR and ¹H–¹H COSY techniques. Biscalix[4]arene 7 adopts a symmetrical cone conformation with tube cavity. The liquid–liquid extraction experiment showed that all new hosts possessed excellent complexation abilities towards soft metal cations. Compound 7 exhibited high complexation selectivity towards Ag⁺. The Ag⁺/Na⁺ and Ag⁺/Hg²⁺ extraction percentages of host 7 were as high as 73.1 and 54.9, respectively. The UV–vis spectra complexation experiments revealed that the complexation constant of receptor 7 with Ag⁺ was 1.9 × 10⁵ M^? 1 and the 1:1 stoichiometry of receptor 7–Ag⁺ complex was formed. The ¹H NMR spectra complexation experiments suggested that Ag⁺ was bound in a cavity composed of two benzalazine groups on bridging chains.     

Molecular Design of Calixarene 5. Syntheses and Cation Selectivities of Novel Schiff's Base p‐tert‐Butylcalix[4]arenes

Five novel Schiff's bases p‐tert‐butylcalix[4]arenes have been synthesized in high yields by the reaction of 1,3‐distally disubstituted p‐tert‐butylcalix[4]arene amine (1) with the corresponding aromatic aldehydes, and their cation binding abilities and selectivities with alkali and heavy metal ions have been evaluated by solvent extraction of aqueous metal picrates to show the highest Ag⁺ extractability for Schiff's base p‐tert‐butylcalix[4]arene (6) and the best Na⁺/Li⁺ and Ag⁺/Ti⁺ selectivities for Schiff's base p‐tert‐butylcalix[4]arene (4 and 2) over any other calix[4]arene derivatives, respectively.     

Exploration of Pb2+ Selective Behavior of Calix[6]arene Ester Derivative

The selective behavior of calix[n]arene ester derivatives in two-phase extraction systems using polarographic technique has been investigated. Calix[4]arene tetraester derivative shows remarkable Na⁺ over Pb²⁺ selectivity; whereas calix[6]arene hexaester derivative shows Pb²⁺ over Na⁺ selectivity. The interference of some selected cations (Na⁺, K⁺, Cu²⁺ and Mg²⁺) were also examined and no significant effect on the selectivity behavior as well as extraction ability of these ionophores was found except Na⁺. The study reveals for the first time that the calix[6]arene hexaester derivative is highly Pb²⁺ selective ionophore and can be employed in the field of sensor as well as separation science and technology. The work also highlights the usefulness of polarographic technique in trace metal determination.     

Synthesis and complexation study of calix[4]arene diamine derivative incorporated in a polymeric backbone with chiral monomers

The novel chiral polymeric compounds containing more than one calix[4]arene have been synthesized by reacting a new calix[4]arene diamine derivative with two chiral monomers. These newly prepared compounds were studied by extraction of toxic heavy metal (Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺), silver and alkali metal (Na⁺, K⁺) cations from aqueous phase. It was observed that the resulting calixarene-based polymers have a good complexing ability towards silver, alkali metal and toxic heavy metal cations.     

Synthesis and characterization of three novel azocalix[4]arene Schiff base derivatives and their selective copper extraction

The synthesis and characterization of three novel Schiff bases of azocalix[4]arene and their selective copper extraction are described. The preparation of azocalix[4]arenes (1c, 2c and 3c) has been achieved by the condensation of 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde with the amine group of upper rim mono-, di- and tetra-(aminophenylazo) calix[4]arene in ethanol. The synthesized products (1c, 2c and 3c) are characterized by both ¹H and ¹³C NMR techniques, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Extraction capabilities of interested derivatives of azocalix[4]arene from aqueous phase into organic phase are also examined. While extraction of Ag⁺, Hg⁺ and Hg²⁺ cations gave strong complexes with azo groups, extraction of Cu²⁺ cation is found to be highly effective with ?CCH=N?C and neighboring ?COH groups.     

Azocalixarenes. 6: Synthesis, complexation, extraction and thermal behaviour of four new azocalix[4]arenes

Four new azocalix[4]arenes {5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylphenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (1), 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-hydroxy-5-nitro phenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (2), 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-amino-5-carboxylphenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (3) and 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-sulfonicacidnapthylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (4)} have been synthesized from p-tert-butylphenol, p-nitrophenol, p-aminobenzoic acid and 1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-sulphonic acid by diazo coupling reaction with p-aminocalix[4]arene. The resulting ligands (1–4) were treated with three transition metal salts (e.g., CuCl₂·2H₂O, NiCl₂·6H₂O or CoCl₂·6H₂O). Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of the azocalix[4]arene derivatives were obtained and characterized by UV-vis, IR, ¹H-NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. All the complexes have a metal:ligand ratio of 2:1. The Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of azocalix[4]arenes are square-planar, while the Co(II) complexes of azocalix[4]arenes are octahedral with water molecules as axial ligands. The solvent extraction of various transition metal cations from the aqueous phase to the organic phase was carried out by using azocalix[4]arenes (1–4). It was found that, azocalix[4]arenes 1, 2 and 3 examined selectivity for transition metal cations such as Ag⁺, Hg⁺ and Hg²⁺. In addition, the thermal stability of metal:azocalix[4]arene complexes were also reported. Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Mustafa Yılmaz on the occasion of his 50th birthday     

杯芳烃接枝超细SiO2的制备及其对Cu2+、Ag+萃取性能的研究

通过对杯[4]芳烃以及杯[6]芳烃上缘进行烯丙基化和硅氢加成2步衍生化反应得到硅氢化杯[4]芳烃以及硅氢化杯[6]芳烃,再将这2种硅氢化杯芳烃衍生物分别接枝到超细SiO₂上。在不同的pH值条件下,就2种杯芳烃接枝超细SiO₂衍生物对水合Cu²⁺及Ag⁺的萃取性能进行了研究。结果表明,与对叔丁基杯芳烃相比较,杯芳烃接枝超细SiO₂衍生物对Cu²⁺和Ag⁺的萃取率都有所提高,其中杯[4]芳烃接枝超细SiO₂对Ag⁺的最高萃取率达到98.78%,杯[6]芳烃接枝超细SiO₂对Cu²⁺的最高萃取率达到67.74%。     

Metal Complexes with Macrocyclic Ligands. Part XL. Syntheses and silver(I) complexes of mono- and disubstituted dithiadiazamacrocycles

A series of N₂S₂-macrocycles with ring sizes varying between 12 and 16, as well as two 12-membered N₂S₂-rings with a pendant carboxylic and amino group, respectively, were synthesized. Their complexation properties towards Ag⁺ were studied by pH titrations and by potentiometry with a silver electrode. The observation that 1:1 ([AgLH₂]³⁺, [AgLH]²⁺, [AgL]⁺) and 1:2 species ([AgL₂H₂]³⁺, [AgL₂H]²⁺, [AgL₂]⁺) were formed is interpreted by postulating that Ag⁺ can bind either to the S-donors only, or to both the N- and S-atoms. The most stable complex [AgL]⁺ in the series of the nonfunctionalized macrocycles was found for the 12-membered N₂S₂-ring 3 . The stability of it increased when an additional donor group was introduced into the side chain. The highest formation constant (logβ₁₁₀ = 14.43(1)) was obtained with the 12-membered ring 12 carrying the ethanamine side chain. In view of a radiochemical application, all Ag⁺ complexes were tested in blood serum for their stability, but were not stable enough against transmetallation.     

Regulation of metal ion recognition by allosteric effects in thiacalix[4]crown based receptors

Three new ditopic receptors 3a-c based on thiacalix[4]arene of 1,3 alternate conformation possessing two different complexation sites have been designed and synthesized for both soft and hard metal ions. The imino nitrogens bind soft metal ion (Ag⁺/Pb²⁺/Cu²⁺) and the crown moiety binds K⁺ ion. The preliminary investigations show that 3a-c behave as ditopic receptors for Ag⁺/K⁺, Pb²⁺/K⁺, and Cu²⁺/K⁺ ions, respectively. In all the three receptors it was observed that the formation of 3a·Ag⁺/3b·Pb²⁺/3c·Cu²⁺ complex triggers the decomplexation of K⁺ ion from crown moiety and acts as a gateway, which regulates the binding of alkali metal to crown moiety. Thus, allosteric binding between metal ions ‘switch off’ the recognition ability of crown ether ring.     

Theoretical study on conformational features and cation-binding properties of a diquinone calix[4]arene

Theoretical studies of a diquinone calix[4]arene and its interactions with the cations Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺ and Ag⁺ have been performed. Conformational features and cation-binding properties were evaluated with the restricted hybrid Becke three-parameter exchange functional method using the 6-31G(d) basis set and its relativistic effective core potentials. To model the effect of medium, the polarisable continuum model was also used. Four typical conformations of the parent diquinone calix[4]arene were studied. The calculated results show that the most stable conformers are 1,3-alternate and partial cone in the gas phase and in CH₂Cl₂ solution, respectively. The optimised geometric structures were used to perform natural bond orbital analysis. The two main types of driving force metal–ligand and cation–π interactions are investigated. The calculated binding energy for cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺ and Ag⁺) is discussed. The calculated results indicate that cone complexes are the most stable.     

Metal ion complexation in acetonitrile by di-ionized calix[4]arenes bearing two dansyl fluorophores

The influence of metal cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe²⁺, Hg²⁺, Mn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺) on the spectroscopic properties of two dansyl (1-dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulfonyl) groups linked to the lower rims of a series of three, structurally related, di-ionized calix[4]arenes was investigated by means of absorption and emission spectrophotometry. Di(tetramethylammonium) salts of the di-ionized ligands, (TMA)₂L1, (TMA)₂L2 and (TMA)₂L3, which differ in having zero, two and four tert-butyl groups, respectively, on the upper rim of the calix[4]arene scaffold were utilized for the spectrofluorimetric titration experiments in acetonitrile. On complexation by alkaline earth metal cations, both the absorption and emission spectra undergo marked red shifts and quenching of the dansyl fluorescence. These effects are weaker with alkali metal cations. Transition metal cations interact strongly with the ligands. In particular, Fe³⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ cause greater than 97% quenching of the dansyl fluorescence in the di-ionized ligands.     

Synthesis of a Tweezer—like Bis（Phenylthiapropoxy）calix[4]—arene as a Cation／π Enhanced Sensor for Ion—Selective Electrodes

Two novel 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(3-phenylthiapropxy)-calix[4]arene(3) and 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(3-phenylthiapropoxy)-5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butylcalix[4] arene (4) were synthesized for the evaluation of their ion-selectivity in ion-selective electrodes(ISEs).ISEs based on 3 and 4 as neutral ionophores were prepared,and their selectivity coefficients for Ag^ (lg KAg,M^pot)were investigated against other alkali metal,alkaline-earth metal,aluminum,thallium(Ⅰ）,Lead and some transition metal ions using the separate solution method (SSM).These ISEs showed excellent Ag^ seletivity over most of the interfering cations examined,except for Hg^2 and Fe^2 having relative smaller interference(lg KAg,M^pot≤-2.1).
