چکیده

Solution-phase and solid-state structural studies indicate that the remarkable hydrogelation properties of a proline-functionalised calix[4]arene emerge as a result of extended helical structures formed via inclusion of a proline moiety in a neighbouring calixarene cavity.

Proline-functionalised calix[4]arene: an anion-triggered hydrogelator.

A water-soluble, chiral calix[4]arene has been found to form hydrogels when triggered by the presence of specific anions, with efficacy linked to the Hofmeister series; the gel properties are modified by the associated cations, and gelation can be reversibly switched off by increasing pH.

DFT Study of Hydrogen Bonding on Calix[8]arene as Nanostructure Compound

An azobenzene bridge was introduced into the lower (or smaller) rim of p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene to form 1,5-singly bridged calix[8]arene derivatives, respectively. Bridged calix[8]arene of conformationally rigid wereisolated. The stability of the two structures of bridged calix[8]arenes have been compared.The study of organicstructure to form nanoporous structures is a well known in chemistry ...

A molecular turnstile in para-octanoyl calix[4]arene nanocapsules.

The thermal treatment of different inclusion complexes of para-octanoyl calix[4]arene leads to the formation of a guest-free van der Waals nanocapsular structure possessing a remarkable stability caused by the high mobility of alkanoyl arms.

Pyrene-p-tert-butylcalixarenes inclusion complexes formation: a surface photochemistry study.

Diffuse reflectance and luminescence techniques were used to study the photophysics and photochemistry of pyrene within p-tert-butylcalix[n]arenes with n = 4, 6, and 8, and to study their ability to form inclusion complexes in heterogeneous media. Evidences for inclusion complex formation were found for the three hosts under study. Ground state diffuse reflectance results have shown the formati...

Calix[4]arene sulfonate as a template for forming fluorescent thiazole orange H-aggregates.

The unexpected interaction between thiazole orange (TO) and calix[4]arene sulfonate is reported herein. H-Aggregates of TO switching on their fluorescence in solution are observed. Surprisingly, fluorescence enhancement is not linked to host-guest inclusion, but rather to calix[4]arene sulfonate serving as a template for several TO molecules.
