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 inside cover picture illustrates a new approach that was devised for the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction, involving combination of an activated amide and arene. To activate arene, catalytic system composed [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]2 Cu(OTf)2 employed. reaction between arene resulted in formation desired aryl ketone, demonstrating favorable yields. This advancement opens up possibilities synthesis ...

New ferrocene substituted calix[4 and 5]arenes have been prepared and the crystal structure of a lower-rim substituted bis ferrocene calix[4]arene (7) has been elucidated. The respective ferrocene/ferrocenium redox-couples of compounds 6 (a calix[4]arene tetra ferrocene amide) and 8 (a calix[5]arene pentaferrocene amide) are shown to be significantly cathodically perturbed in the presence of an...

In the title compound, C(8)H(7)Br(2)NO(2), an inter-mediate for the synthesis of macrocycles, the NO(2) group makes a dihedral angle of 65.07 (19)° with the arene ring, and the bromo-methyl substituents adopt a trans conformation about the ring such that the mol-ecule closely approximates C2 symmetry.

In this study, we examine macrocyclic compounds to determine whether they can provide a safer replacement and stable complex for BPA in thermochromic dyes. To achieve objective, series of compounds, Methyl-N-benzylhexahomotriazacalix[3]arene (MeAC3), p-Chloro-N-benzylhexahomo-triazacalix[3]arene (ClAC3), ?-Cyclodexdrin (?-CD), ?-Cyclodexdrin (?-CD), p-tert-Butylthiacalix[4]arene (TC4), Calix[4]...

Self-assembly of 2,4,6-tripyridyl-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) subunits with arene ruthenium building blocks and oxalato bridges affords cationic triangular metallo-prisms of the type [Ru6(arene)6(tpt)2(C2O4)3]6+ (arene = C6Me6 and p-Pr(i)C6H4Me); the unexpected double helical chirality of the metallo-prisms observed in the solid state persists in solution giving rise to two different stereodynamic pro...

The interaction of p-sulphonatocalix [6] arene towards L-arginine and L-lysine has been studied inacidic aqueous solution (p1-1 2) using UV-Vis spectrophotometric titration technique. The psulphonatocalix[6] arene was found to be able to form 1:1 complexe with amino acids in water.The values of the association constant were determined at different temperatures to evaluate thethermodynamic funct...

calix(6)arene hydroxamic acids (iii) are synthesised for the first time by reactingcalix(6)arene acid chloride(ii) with substituted hydroxylamines at low temperature in the presence ofsodium bicarbonate. the p-carboxycalix(6)arene(i) is obtained by an acid catalysed condensationreaction of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and formaldehyde. these calixarenes are characterised by meltingpoint, uv, ir, 1h nm...

The reactions of [Cp*MCl2]2(Cp*=eta5-C5Me5, M = Rh, Ir) with thiacalix[4]arene (TC4A(OH)4) and tetramercaptothiacalix[4]arene (TC4A(SH)4) gave the mononuclear complexes [(Cp*M){eta3-TC4A(OH)2(O)2}] and the dinuclear complexes [(Cp*M)2{eta3eta3-TC4A(S)4}] respectively, while the analogous reactions with dimercaptothiacalix[4]arene (TC4A(OH)2(SH)2) produced the tetranuclear complexes [(Cp*M)2(Cp*...

A family of one-dimensional coordination polymers, [Ag4(O2C(CF2)2CF3)4(phenazine)2(arene) n ]·m(arene), 1 (arene = toluene or xylene), have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Arene guest loss invokes structural transformations to yield a pair of polymorphic coordination polymers [Ag4(O2C(CF2)2CF3)4(phenazine)2], 2a and/or 2b , with one- and two-dimensional architectures, r...
