چکیده

The per-ipso-nitration of a TMPA-capped calix[6]arene has been achieved. The substitution of the six bulky tBu substituents for nitro groups has a strong impact on the behavior of the ligand during guest recognition. The complexation of the aza cap (by H(+) or Cu(+)) associated with the encapsulation of a guest triggers an induced-fit process leading to the loss of the cone conformation of the host in favor of alternate conformations. Such a "pivoting" response of one or two walls of the calixarene core induces a large mechanical motion of the corresponding aromatic units. This stands in strong contrast with the "breathing" phenomena previously identified with other calix[6]arene-based complexes that expand or shrink the size of their cone as a function of the guest. Because of the covalently attached rigid TMPA cap, three arene units of this new calixarene host have a restricted mobility, which forces it to respond in a different manner to a supramolecular stress.

Spectacular induced-fit process for guest binding by a calix[6]arene Zn(II) funnel complex.

The host properties of a calix[6]arene cone capped by a Zn(II) tris-imidazole core at the small rim and decorated by three NH(2) substituents at the large rim are described and compared to the hexa-tBu parent complex. It is shown that the replacement of three bulky tBu substituents by three hydrophilic and small NH(2) groups has three major impacts: the receptor is now soluble in aqueous media,...

Allosterically driven self-assemblies of interlocked calix[6]arene receptors.

The construction of self-assembled receptors based on flexible concave subunits is a challenging task and constitutes an interesting approach to mimic binding processes occurring in biological systems. The receptors studied herein are based on flexible calix[6]arene skeletons bearing three (or more) acid-base functionalities at their narrow rim. When complementary, they self-assemble in a tail-...

Investigation of NMR Shielding Tensors of Para-Sulfonato-calix 141 arene Complexation with some of Alkali metal atoms

Calixarenes are a readily available and important class of macrocycles in supramolecularchemistry. Calixarenes have generated considerable interest due to their basket shaped structureand as useful building blocks to synthesize selective receptors for the guest species, notably alkali,alkaline earth, lanthanide and transition metal cations. In this work studied on the complexingproperties of a ...

The binding efficiency of a series of monotopic () and heteroditopic () calix[4]arene-based receptors has been evaluated in chloroform solution toward N-methylpyridinium ion pairs using NMR and UV/vis spectroscopic techniques. These experiments provided evidence that, due to a positive cooperative effect, the presence of a phenylurea H-bond donor group on the upper rim of the calix[4]arene macr...
