Conformational behaviour of tetramethoxythiacalix[4]arenes: solution versus solid-state study
摘要:
The conformational behaviour of simple thiacalix[4]arene derivatives was studied using a combination of NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The 25,26,27,28-tetramethoxythiacalix[4]arene was found to adopt an unprecedented solid-state structure, where the cone and 1,3-alternate conformers co-exist in the crystal lattice in the 3:1 ratio. This phenomenon reflects the basically distinct conformational behaviour of thiacalix[4]arene skeleton as compared with classical calixarenes. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of alkyl substituted thiacalix[4]arene derivatives (being conformationally mobile or immobilised in the cone conformation) was used as the starting point for this study. It was demonstrated that the NaNO3/CF3COOH system can serve as an excellent oxidising agent. The oxidation of the bridging sulphur atoms smoothly leads to the corresponding tetrasulfoxides where alkyl and sulfoxide groups
The conformational behaviour of 25,27-dimethoxythiacalix[4]arene was studied using NMR techniques and X-ray analysis. The title compound prefers a cone conformation in solution, while in the solid state it adopts a unique 1,2-alternate conformation thus creating a novel type of molecular channel held together by π–π interactions.
The synthesis of new tetraalkylated derivatives of 2,8,14,20-tetrathiacalix[4]arenes was achieved by the refluxing of thiacalixarenes in acetone or acetonitrile with the alkylation agent (R-I, R-Br) in the presence of K2CO3 or Cs2CO3. The structure of the tetraalkylated thiacalix[4]arenes was studied hy means of H-1 NMR experiments proving the 1.3-alternate conformation under measurement conditions (CDCl3, room temperature). The same conformation was established by X-ray analysis in the solid state where these derivatives create nice infinite channels. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Partially O-Alkylated Thiacalix[4]arenes: Synthesis, Molecular and Crystal Structures, Conformational Behavior
3a adopt the cone conformation in solution, distally disubstituted compounds 1b, 1‘b, 2b, 2‘b, 3b, and 3‘b exhibit several interesting conformational features. They prefer pinched cone conformation in solution, and, except for 3‘b, they form also 1,2-alternate conformation, which is flexible and undergoes rather fast transition between two identical structures. The crystalstructures of the compounds
