Supramolecular polymeric vesicles are constructed by the complexation of p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and chitosan, where the multivalent electrostatic interactions between the anionic sulfonate tetramer and cationic polyammoniums served as the dominant driving force. The supra-amphiphilic assemblies are disassembled upon exposure to a pH stimulus since the partial deprotonation of chitosan accompa...

The adsorption of tributyltin (TBT), onto three mesoporous silica adsorbents functionalized with calix[4]arene, p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (MCM-TDI-C4, MCM-TDI-PC4 and MCM-TDI-C4S, respectively) has been compared. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out and the effect of contact time, initial TBT concentration, pH and temperature were studied. The Koble-Corriga...

the complexation of alkali metal cations by the water-soluble p-sulfonic acid calix(4)arenewas thermodynamically characterized using spectrophotometeric data which are consistentwith the formation of a 1:1 complex resulting from electrostatic interactions between thesulfonato groups and alkali metal cations. in this study, we determined the formationconstants (log k) of the complexes and have c...

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 ...

We present the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of sulfonatocalix[4]arene hosts bearing novel substitutions. The calix[4]arenes are modified on upper rim at either one or two phenolic units, where dual modifications introduced regioselectively neighbouring opposing phenols. mono- di-functionalised with nitro formyl groups, remaining upper-rim sites in all cases occupied by sulphon...

the complexation of sodium molybdate with para-sulfonatocalix [4] arene was studied in thetemperature range from 20 to 40 °c and ph = 5.8 by spectroscopic method in water solution. thestability constants of complexes were calculated by the multiwavelength analysis of spectral datausing squad program. the equilibrium constant, spectroscopic data, molar absorptivities andconcentrations of all spe...
