Disclosed is a novel family of macrocyclic compounds, coined calixurenes, which comprises linear and cyclic oligomers composed of alternating moieties of an aromatic unit and a ureatic unit, linked to one another via a bridging moiety. The disclosed calixurenes feature multiple heteroatom-containing groups, and can be designed so as to feature other functionalities, and can thus be used in a variety of applications. Further disclosed are processes of preparing the calixurenes, articles containing same and uses thereof.
披露了一类新颖的大环化合物家族,被称为卡利克烷(calixurenes),包括由芳香基团和
脲基团交替组成的线性和环状寡聚物,通过桥接基团相互连接。披露的卡利克烷具有多个含杂原子的基团,并可设计为具有其他功能,因此可用于各种应用。进一步披露了制备卡利克烷的方法、含有卡利克烷的物品以及其用途。
