In the present work, a new macrocycle materials (SB77) was selected and Langmuir-Blodgett thin films of this compounds were examined for its vapor sensing capabilities against aromatic BTX hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene) through Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) technique. accordance with aim, calix[4]arene LB prepared onto quartz crystal substrates. The characterization SB77 film perfo...

The calix[4]arene niobium(III) complex ([L]Nb-N=N-Nb[L] where [L] = p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene), reported to bind N(2) in a μ(2)-linear dimeric capacity and to activate the N(2) triple bond to 1.39 Å, corresponding to the longest N(2) bond known in the end-on coordination mode, was subjected to a computational investigation involving both density functional and wavefunction based methods to esta...

The reaction of tetra-kis-(all-yloxy)calix[4]arene with the first-generation Grubbs catalyst, followed by catalytic hydrogenation, gave the novel bis-calixarene 15,20,46,51,64,69,74,79-octa-oxatridecacyclo[32.28.8.8(3,28).1(13,53).1(22,44).0(9,14).0(21,26).0(38,70).0(40,45).0(52,57).0(59,63).0(7,80).0(32,73)]octa-conta-1(63),3,5,7(80),9(14),10,12,21,23,25,28(73),29,31,34,36,38(70),40,42,44,52,5...

A ring-closing olefin metathesis reaction of tetra-kis-(all-yl-oxy)calix[4]arene gave the bis- calixarene, (15E,40E,60E)-65,74-bis-(prop-2-en-1-yl-oxy)-13,18,38,43,58,63-hexa-oxado-deca-cyclo-[28.26.8.7(20,36).1(11,45).1(51,55).0(5,57).0(7,12).0(19,24).0(26,64).0(32,37).0(44,49).1(68,72)]tetra-hepta-conta-1,3,5(57),7,9,11,15,19(24),20,22,26,28,30(64),32,34,36,40,44(49),45,47,51,53,55(65),60,68,...

Calix[4]arene derivatives supported on monolayer protected gold clusters show a remarkable enhanced binding efficiency towards quaternary ammonium salts in homogeneous solution of apolar solvents with respect to the corresponding unsupported hosts.

The bridge-substituted calix[4]arene carboxylic acid, 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetramethoxy-calix[4]arene-2-carboxylic acid (1), can be readily converted to various esters 2-4 and reduced to the alcohol 5, which reacts with methyl iodide to give the ether 6. The alcohol can be dansylated to give 7, the fluorescence of which is selectively quenched by Cu(II) in acetonitrile. An at...

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]...

The structures of three novel compounds prepared from the reaction of the lower-rim 1,3-diacid calix[4]arene (LH(2)) with lithium carbonate (1), t-butyl-lithium (2) and zinc acetate (3) are reported.

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetra-propyn-yloxy-2,8,14,20-tetra-thia-calix[4]arene], C(52)H(56)O(4)S(4), is an alkyl-ated product bearing four propyne groups at the lower rim of a 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-tetrathia-calix[4]arene. The mol-ecule is located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis, running through two S atoms and perpendicular ...
