Three 25,26-bridged para-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene phosphites, 1â3, have been synthesized by linking two proximal phenolic oxygen atoms of para-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene to a P(OR) [R = 2,6-But2â4-Me-C6H2 (1), 2,6-Pri2-C6H3 (2) or 2,4-But2-C6H3 (3)] moiety. NMR spectroscopic data and X-ray crystallographic studies (1 and 2 only) show that the calixarene framework in 1 adopts a cone conformation, whereas in 2 and 3 it assumes a partial cone conformation. Unsymmetrical 25,26;27,28-dibridged para-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene bisphosphites 5â7 have been synthesized by the reaction of 25,26-bridged para-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene phosphite 1 with (Râ²O)PCl2 [Râ² = 2,4-But2-C6H3 (5), 2,6-Pri2-C6H3 (6) or (1R,2S,5R)-(â)menthyl (7)]. NMR investigations (homonuclear 31P COSY) revealed an unprecedented âthrough-spaceâ phosphorusâphosphorus coupling of 223â244 Hz for these unsymmetrical 25,26;27,28-dibridged para-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene bisphosphites. The molecular structure of unsymmetrical 25,26;27,28-bridged bisphosphite 5 was determined by X-ray crystallography; the two phosphorus atoms are in close proximity and the Pâ¯P distance (3.543(2) Ã
) is less than the sum of their van der Walls radii.
