The title compound, C(34)H(28)Si, was prepared as an inter-nal standard for diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy. The four ligands are arranged tetra-hedrally around the Si atom. The two naphthalene systems are nearly perpendicular, making an angle of 86.42 (4)° with one another. A naphthalene system and a phenyl ring are also nearly perpendicular, making an angle of 86.18 (6)° with one another. ...

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(64)H(52)Br(4)O(8)·1.31C(3)H(6)O·0.69CHCl(3), is described. The structure has been reported previously [Bryant, Blanda, Vincenti & Cram (1991). J. Am. Chem. Soc.113, 2167-2172]; however, the lower data acquisition temperature results in an improved refinement model. In addition, the presence of residual acetone and (disordered) chloro-form within th...

Planar chiral h6-arene chromium(0) complexes are finding increasing application in the synthesis of enantioenriched compounds by serving as enantiopure starting materials or ligands for catalytic asymmetric processes.[1,2] Whereas early methods of generating enantiopure 1,2-disubstituted h6-arene chromium(0) complexes relied on resolution of racemates,[3] many methods have been developed recent...

Tris-(N-phenylureido)-calix[6]arene derivatives are heteroditopic non-symmetric molecular hosts that can form pseudorotaxane complexes with 4,4'-bipyridinium-type guests. Owing to the unique structural features and recognition properties of the calix[6]arene wheel, these systems are of interest for the design and synthesis of novel molecular devices and machines. We envisaged that the incorpora...

A new water-soluble pillar[5]arene containing ten imidazolium groups was prepared. It can be used as a stabilizer to fabricate gold nanoparticles smaller than 6 nm in water.

A UV-responsive supra-amphiphile based on a water-soluble pillar[6]arene was constructed. Its self-assembly and application in dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in water were studied.

We report the synthesis of 1,3-bis[(2′-tertbutyl)hydroxyaminophenyl]benzene (H2arene-diNOx) and its metal complexes, Ce(arene-diNOx)2 (1) and [(py)2K(18-crown-6)][La(arene-diNOx)2] (2). Electrochemical studies demonstrated that the H2arene-diNOx, bidentate nitroxide ligands significantly stabilized the Ce(IV/III) redox couple to −1.74 V versus Fc/Fc(+). Moreover, a reversible oxidation wave was...
