Anion recognition by calix[4]arene-based p-nitrophenyl amides
摘要:
Calix[4]arene derivatives immobilised in the cone conformation and bearing p-nitrophenyl moieties appended to the upper rim via the amide functions have been synthesised and applied as anion receptors. The H-1 NMR and UV/Vis complexation studies towards selected anions proved that the complexation ability depends considerably on the substitution pattern of the calixarene core. Thus, the proximal diamide derivative has a complexation constant for H2PO4- by one order of magnitude higher than the distal analogue.(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Anion complexation by calix[4]arene–TTF conjugates
摘要:
Calix[4]arenes bearing tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) moieties appended to the upper rim via the amidic functions were synthesized and used for H-1 NMR and UV/Vis complexation studies towards selected anions. It was found that the complexation affinity towards H2PO4- dramatically depends on the substitution pattern of the calixarene moiety. As a result, the proximally disubstituted derivative has a complexation constant by two orders of magnitude higher than the distally disubstituted analogue. The differences between proximal and distal receptors were also documented by their behaviour during the oxidation of the attached TTF units. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
