Abstract:
The comparative study of the ion-pairing of Co(III) sepulchrate (Co(sep)]3+) with p-sulfonatothiacalix4]arene and p-sulfonatocalix4]arene tetracarbonic acid by 1H NMR and pH-metric data in solution and X-ray data in solid state elucidates pH dependent effect of carboxylate groups on the stoichiometry and the mode of the ion pairing. The electrochemical data of Co(sep)]3+ bound with both calix4]arenes have been analyzed in the correlation with stoichiometry and the mode of their binding. The pH-dependent effect of tetracarboxy-p-sulfonatocalix4]arene on the electrochemical behavior of Co(sep)]3+ has been found to correlate with the participation of carboxylate groups in the host?Cguest binding.
