Dimeric water embedded within a hydrophobic cavity of tetra-(p-tert-butyl)thiacalix[4]arene

X-ray crystallographic analysis and density functional B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculation confirm that dimeric water is embedded within a hydrophobic cavity of tetra-(p-tert-butyl)thiacalix[4]arene and stabilized by hydrogen bondings of aromatic π?H₂O(1) and methyl?H₂O(2) in the dimeric water inclusion complex with binding energies of 1.4 and 0.9 kcal mol⁻¹ respectively, and by hydrogen bonding formed between H₂O(2) and four phenolic OH groups from an adjacent tetra-(p-tert-butyl)thiacalix[4]arene, with binding energy of 3.8-4.2 kcal mol⁻¹.     

Self-inclusion properties of C60-linked calix[5]arene

C₆₀-linked calix[5]arenes were synthesized and their intramolecular binding properties were investigated. The self-inclusion ratio of the C₆₀ moiety was determined by using UV-vis spectroscopy, and the ratio depends on chain length, temperature, and solvent. Influence of temperature and solvent was explained by the thermodynamic data of the intramolecular complex formation process.     

Effect of p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arene Fitted with Phosphinoyl Pendant Arms as Synergistic Agent in the Solvent Extraction and Separation of Some Trivalent Lanthanoids with 4-Benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone

The synergistic solvent extraction of five selected lanthanoid ions (La³⁺, Nd³⁺, Eu³⁺, Ho³⁺ and Lu³⁺) with a 4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone(HP) and the 5,11,17,23-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(dimethylphosphinoylmethoxy)calix[4]arene, (S) in CHCl₃ has been studied. It was found that in presence of this phosphorus-containing calix[4]arene the lanthanoids have been extracted as LnP₃ · S. On the basis of the experimental data, the values of the equilibrium constants have been calculated. The influence of the synergistic agent on the extraction process has been discussed. A synergistic effect of almost three orders of magnitude occurs in the extraction of Ln(III) with mixture of HP and S. The values of the separation factors (S.F.) between the adjacent elements have been evaluated. On the basis of the IR and NMR spectra the stoichiometry and the structure of the solid complexes of Eu(III) with HP and Eu(III) with HP and S were proposed.

The self-assemblies of two pyrogallol[4]arenes held together by 48 intermolecular hydrogen bonds stably associate in the form of spherical hexameric capsules. The molecular structures of two hexameric capsules with large interior space were analyzed by single crystal X-ray crystallography.     

Construction of a Novel 2D Polymer [Co（dmpzm）（dca）2]∞ from Reaction of a Mononuclear Complex [Co（dmpzm）Cl2] with Sodium Dicyanamide （dca） [dmpzm=bis（3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl）methane]

Reaction of COC12.6H20 with equimolar bis（3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl）methane （dmpzm） produced a mononuclear adduct [Co（dmpzm）Cl2] （1）. Treatment of 1 with sodium dicyanamide （dca） afforded a polymeric complex [Co（dmpzm）（μ-dca）2]∞ （2）. 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The cobalt atom in 1 adopts a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry, bound to two N atoms of one dmpzm and two Cl atoms. Complex 2 has a 2D brick-wall network （extended along the bc plane） in which the { [Co（dmpzm）（μ-dca）]2} n^2n＋ chains are interconnected by pairs of μ-dca anions along the c axis. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 were also investigated.

Compounds 4–6 were characterized fully by IR, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 4 crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a=17.916(5) Å, b=7.223(2) Å, c=13.335(4) Å, β=128.726(3)°, V=1346.2(6) ų, Z=4. It contains alternating Hg(II) and Cu(II) metal centers that are cross-linked by 2-pyrazinecarboxylate spacers and chlorine co-ligands to generate a unique three-dimensional Hg(II)–Cu(II) mixed metal framework. Compound 5 crystallized in the triclinic space group P , with a=6.3879(7) Å, b=6.6626(8) Å, c=13.2286(15) Å, α=96.339(2)°, β=91.590(2)°, γ=113.462(2)°, V=511.71(10) ų, Z=1.

The metal containing building blocks, M(2-pyrazinecarboxylate)₂ · (H₂O)₂ (M=Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II)), exhibit different connectivities to HgCl₂ depending on the metal cation contained within them.

Ratiometric chemosensing of Mg ions by a calix[4]arene diamide derivative

A new chemosensor with a phenanthroimidazole subunit based upon calix[4]arene-diamide has been synthesized, and its Mg²⁺-selective fluoroionophoric properties were investigated in an aqueous DMSO solution. The compound exhibited a pronounced Mg²⁺-selective fluoroionophoric behavior over other physiologically relevant metal ions. A significant red shift in fluorescence emission (Δλ = 86 nm) provided the ratiometric determination as well as naked-eye detection of Mg²⁺ ions.     

Selective functionalization at the small rim of calix[6]arene. Synthesis of novel non-symmetrical N3, N4 and N3ArO biomimetic ligands

Eight novel calix[6]arene-based biomimetic ligands for transition metal ions have been synthesized. They display a non-symmetrical N₃, N₄ or N₃ArO binding core that mimics enzyme active sites presenting histidine and tyrosine residues. The key step for their synthesis is the mono-alkylation at the small rim of the C_3v symmetrical trimethyl ether derivative of tBu-calix[6]arene with N-Boc-2-chloroethylamine to yield a novel calix[6]arene synthon. Its combined O-alkylation with a chloromethyl aromatic amine and N-deprotection or alkylation or reductive alkylation with a salicylaldehyde derivative yielded the calix[6]arene-based ligands with mixed N/O donors.
