The crystal structure of the dinuclear arene ruthenium title complex, [Ru2(C6H5OS)(C7H7S)2(C10H14)2]BF4, shows the two Ru(II) atoms to be bridged by two benzyl-thio-pheno-late units and one 4-hy-droxy-thio-pheno-late unit, with the remaining three coordination sites of each Ru(II) atom being occupied by p-cymene ligands, completing the typical piano-stool coordination geometry. The BF4 (-) coun...

The synthesis and NOE-based structural characterization is described of thiacalix[4]arene tricarboxylic acid (7), thiacalix[4]crown-5 and -6 monocarboxylic acids (2 and 5), and the bis(N-methylsulfonyl)thiacalix[4]crowns-5 and -6 (4a,b). The 226Ra2+ selectivity coefficients, log(K(Ra)ex/K(M)ex), of the new thiacalix[4]arene derivatives are compared directly with those of thiacalix[4]crown-5 and...

This study aimed to synthesize two new fluorescent narrow rim-functionalized 4-sulfo-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives of calix[4]arenes (4 and 7) examination their cytotoxic properties for cancerous cells. For this purpose, p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene bearing dihydrazide (3) or diaminopropyl (6) units on its rim were reacted with 4-sulfo-1,8-naphthalic anhydrate. The IC50 values 4 7 determined as 12...

Aim. The purpose of the present study was to develop a method for fixation ‘fixed’ conformation estimation impact calix[4]arene structure on efficacy its anticoagulant activity. This achieved by substitution lower rim C-145 analogue. Methods.Calix[4]arene C-145F (compound 6) obtained in 4 steps starting with Duff reaction. Calix[4]arene methylene-bis-phosphonic ester 3 prepared via addition dii...

The title compound, C(68)H(56)O(16), was synthesized as a novel synthetic inter-mediate towards deeper and more elaborate resorcin[4]arene cavitands. The structure is the first reported example of a resorcin[4]arene cavitand bearing aromatic aldehyde functional groups at the extra-annular rim of the mol-ecule. The 2-formyl-phen-oxy residues are found to assume two different orientations above t...

Novel di-ionizable p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-1,2-crown-3 ligands in cone and 1,2-alternate conformations were prepared as potential metal ion extractants. Selective bridging of proximal hydroxyl groups of the calix[4]arene platform by a crown-3 polyether unit was achieved under Mitsunobu reaction conditions. In addition to the carboxylic acid group, the acidity tunable N-(X)sulfonyl oxyacetamid...

The chemistry of calixarenes has received increasing attention in the field of Supramolecular Chemistry, as this class of molecules offers a suitable platform for the synthesis of receptors for anions, cations and neutral molecules. Their structures allow acylation and alkylaton reactions of the phenolic groups. The conformation and degree of substitution of acylated products are related to the...

In the title complex, [Mo(C(7)H(5)OS)Cl(C(18)H(15)P)(2)(CO)(2)], the geometry around the metal atom is a capped octa-hedron. The phen-oxy-thio-carbonyl ligand coordinates the Mo(II) atom through the C and S atoms. A one-dimensional structure is formed by π-π inter-molecular inter-actions and a supra-molecular aggregation is determined by inter-molecular C-H⋯O, C-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bond...

This work is the first in-depth study of osmium binding to DNA and confirms the pharmacological activity of a new class of anticancer metallodrugs. We investigated the interactions between the potential biological target DNA and four osmium(II) arene complexes, of the type [(eta 6-arene)Os(LL)Cl]n+, where arene = biphenyl or p-cymene and LL = ethylenediamine, picolinate, or oxinate in an effort...
