Synthesis,Self-Association,and Solubilizing Ability of an Amphiphilic Derivative of Poly(ethylene glycol) Methyl Ether

A new amphiphilic derivative–methoxy(polyethoxy)ethyl stearate has been synthesized with the goal of creating therefrom systems for delivery and enhancement of bioavailability of piperine. The aggregation and solubilizing properties of ω-methylpoly(oxyethylene) stearate have been studied by means of a set of physicochemical methods.     

New salt structures based on aminomethylated calix[4]-resorcinarenes and (1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diyl)bisphosphonic acid

Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry - Aminomethylation of calix[4]resorcinarenes with (1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diyl)bisphosphonic acid afforded a series of new water soluble onium salts.     

Complexation of Gd<Superscript>III</Superscript> with tetra-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p-tert</Emphasis>-butylthiacalix[4]arenoic acid in micellar media

The conditions for the formation of gadolinium(III) complexes possessing high relaxivity with various tetraacid stereoisomers based on p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene in micellar solutions of nonionic surfactants were established. The acid-base properties of individual isomers of the ligand were studied by pH-metric titration and UV spectroscopy. The composition and stability constants of the solubilized gadolinium(III) complexes with the obtained thiacalixarenes were determined using computer simulation of the NMR relaxation data.     

Complex formation of MnII with tetra(p-tert-butyl)thiacalix[4]arene acid in aqueous solutions of surfactants and polymers

The formation of manganese(II) complexes with different stereoisomers of tetraacid based on p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene in water, in micellar solutions of nonionogenic surfactants, and in polymer solutions was studied. The formation of complexes with different degrees of ligand protonation was revealed by pH-metric titration and nuclear magnetic relaxation. On the basis of experimental data, the composition and stability constants of the solubilized complexes of stereoisomers of thiacalixarene acid with manganese(II) ions were determined using mathematical simulation methods. The manganese thiacalixarene complexes are unstable in solutions, especially upon the addition of calcium cations and in the presence of nitrilotriacetic acid.
