Spectroscopic study on the complex formation of chromogenic bridged calixarenes with aliphatic amines

The complex formation between chromogenic capped calix 4 arene derivatives comprising indophenol indicator group(s), and aliphatic amines has been studied by UV/Vis spectroscopy. The equilibrium constants have been determined in ethanol, and—for one ligand—also in dimethylsulfoxide. The results have been interpreted in terms of various types of host–guest interactions and of steric effects.     

Medicinal Organometallic Chemistry: Designing Metal Arene Complexes as Anticancer Agents

The field of medicinal inorganic chemistry is rapidly advancing. In particular organometallic complexes have much potential as therapeutic and diagnostic agents. The carbon‐bound and other ligands allow the thermodynamic and kinetic reactivity of the metal ion to be controlled and also provide a scaffold for functionalization. The establishment of structure–activity relationships and elucidation of the speciation of complexes under conditions relevant to drug testing and formulation are crucial for the further development of promising medicinal applications of organometallic complexes. Specific examples involving the design of ruthenium and osmium arene complexes as anticancer agents are discussed.     

A Facile Synthesis of Ethyl 2,4-Dimethoxy-6-perfluoroalkyl-benzoates via Acyclic Precursors

Introduction Polysubstituted arenes are important intermediates in synthetic medicines and dyestuffs, and the fluorinated analogues are more attractive as a result of their lipo-philicity and the increment of activity.1,2 Therefore, to study the convenient and efficient synthesis of polysub-stituted arenes is valuable in organic synthetic method-ology. We have designed a simple synthesis of fluori-nated polysubstituted arenes through the intramolecular Wittig reaction of a new phosphorous ylid…

Synthesis, Characterisation and UV-Vis Properties of Azocalix[4]crowns

This article describes the synthesis, structure andUV properties of azocalixcrowns in which the photoresponsivetrans-cis azo benzene unit has been introduced in the glycolicchains of the calix[4]crowns. The synthesis proceeded via the selective-1,3O-dialkylation of calix[4]arene with glycolic chains terminated bynitrophenyl residues. After reduction of thenitro groups into amino functions,intramolecular oxidative coupling produced thecapping of the calixarene. Thesynthetic approaches and the cis-transstructure of these new ligandsare discussed and full details on synthesesand structural data are given. Apreliminary example of cesium complexation byone of the ligands is proposed.     

Molecular and crystal structures of ruthenium and osmium arene clusters

The molecular and crystal structures of a number of ruthenium and osmium clusters of nuclearity between three and six containing arene fragments such as C₆H₆, C₆H₃Me₃, C₆H₄Me₂ and C₆H₅Me have been investigated. Attention has been focused on the relationship between the terminal ( ⁶-coordination) and face-capping ( ₃: ²: ²: ²-coordination) bonding modes. Empirical packing potential energy calculations have been employed to investigate the intermolecular organization in the crystal. It has been shown that the arene fragments in mono-arene clusters form ribbons, while in bis-arene clusters graphitic-like interactions throughout the crystal are established. The factors controlling the ease of arene reorientational motion in the solid state has also been investigated in relation to the shape, size and geometry of the molecules and of their interlocking modes.     

Synthesis of calixarene-cyclodextrin coupling products

The coupling of two or four mono-6-amino β-cyclodextrin (amino-CD) units, (unprotected or permethylated hydroxyls), to diisopropoxycalix[4]arene crown-6 (CAL) was realised using the N,N′-succinyldiamide linker. The resulting molecules in two series were characterised with the help of mass and NMR spectroscopies. The yields of all coupling products were improved for permethylated sugar series compared to the hydroxylated CD series or to our previous studies. The two β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) residues coupled to disubstituted CAL were orientated from the same side of the crown ether.     

Determination of Copper at a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Langmuir–Blodgett Film of p‐tert‐Butylthiacalix[4]arene

A new type of voltammetric sensor, Langmuir–Blodgett film of p‐tert‐butylthiacalix[4]arene modified glassy carbon electrode, was advanced and used for determining copper at trace levels by differential pulse stripping voltammetry. Calibration plot was found to be linear in the range of 2×10^?8 M to 5×10^?6 M; the detection limit was 2×10^?9 M. Possible recognition mechanism was also discussed. From determination of Copper in real samples (river, lake and tap water) it can be concluded that the method is rapid, sensitive in determining of copper and can be used in the analysis of natural water samples.
