Qualitative Analysis of the Helical Electronic Energy of Inherently Chiral Calix[4]arenes: An Approach to Effectively Assign Their Absolute Configuration

For all microhelices on aromatic rings of inherently chiral calix[4]arene, an expression was derived from one approximation and one hypothesis on the basis of the electron-on-a-helix model of Tinoco and Woody as follows: , where µ = 1 for the right-handed microhelix and µ = −1 for the left-handed microhelix; and H and K are constant and greater than zero. The expression correlates microhelical electronic energy (E) with the atom polarizability difference (Δα) on both microhelix ends, which intuitively and clearly shows the impact of helical substituent polarizability on helical electronic energy. The case analysis almost entirely proves that the qualitative analysis of the helical electronic energy of inherently chiral Calix[4]arenes with the expression is scientific and can be used to effectively assign their absolute configuration.     

Synthesis of Oligomeric Calix[4]arene-Crowns as Novel Ionophores for Alkali and Transition Metals

Two different oligomeric calix[4]arene-crowns ( 2b and 3b ) were synthesized ( via ) the condensation reaction of p- tert -butylcalix[4]arene-oxacrown-4 ( 2a ) and p- tert -butylcalix[4]arene-thiacrown-4 ( 3a )(calix[4]arene-crown monomers) with 1,5-dibromopentane. In these oligomerization reactions, it has been found that only three or four calix[4]arene-crowns-4 units have been linked together through alkyl bridges. Their comparative complexing properties with selected alkali and transition metals are reported here. It has been deduced that the selectivity of monomer 2a toward alkali metals has not been reserved, but a pronounced increase in its complexing ability was observed after the oligomerization. However, the selectivity of the monomer 3a toward Cu 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Pb 2+ has also been lost after oligomerization, and it has been found that oligomer 3b is an efficient extractant for the transition metal cations employed in the two-phase extraction systems.     

Potassium-ion selective solid contact microelectrode based on a novel 1,3-(di-4-oxabutanol)-calix[4]arene-crown-5 neutral carrier

The development of novel potassium-ion selective microelectrodes using microfabrication technologies and electrochemical polymerization is described. The microelectrode is based on electropolymerized polypyrrole films, doped with cobaltabis(dicarbollide) ions ([3,3′-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₁)₂]), as an internal solid contact layer between the platinum surface and the polymeric sensing membrane. The ion selective membranes, which are based on a plasticized PVC membrane, contain 1,3-(di-4-oxabutanol)-calix[4]arene-crown-5 as a novel potassium ionophore, and are deposited on top of a layer of the conducting PPy[3,3′-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₁)₂]. The response of the microelectrode was linear with a Nernstian slope of 51 ± 2 mV decade⁻¹ over a K⁺ ion concentration range of 6 × 10⁻⁶ to 1 × 10⁻¹ M, with a detection limit of 1.8 × 10⁻⁶ M. The microelectrode is suitable for use within the pH range of 3-11. The electrode could be used for at least one month without a considerable alteration in its potential.     

Dichromate Extraction by Calix[4]arene Appended Amberlite XAD-4 Resin

In the present article a comparative extraction efficiency of dichromate by a calix[4]arene derivative (d) and a newly synthesized calix[4]arene appended Amberlite XAD-4 resin (5) are reported. The liquid and solid phase extraction methods have been applied to ascertain the extraction efficiency of both the calix[4]arene derivative and the resin. Different parameters have been optimized such as pH, dosage, concentration, and temperature. Analysis of experimental data has been carried out by log-log plot analyses and the determination of characteristic parameters of each isotherm model such as Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R). The kinetic adsorption experiments show that the adsorption process follows pseudo second order kinetics. The adsorption mechanism has been investigated by Reichenberg (R-B) and Morris-Webster equations. From the thermodynamic parameters it is concluded that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous in nature at higher temperature. The results show that the resin-5 has good capability to efficiently remove dichromate from aqueous media.     

Thermal Behaviors of Bisazocalix[4]arene Derivatives

In this article, calix[4]arene (4) was prepared by debutylation and hydrolyses reacting from 25,27-dibenzoyl-26,28-dihydroxy-5,11,17,23-tetra(tert-butyl)calix[4]arene (2). Azocalix[4]arenes (6a-c) were coupled by linking 4-methoxy, 4-ethyl, and 4-nitroaniline to calix[4]arene (4) through a diazo-coupling reaction. Thermal behavior characteristics and decomposition routes of 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy-11,23-di(tert-butyl)-5,17-(p-substitue phenyl)azocalix[4]arene (6a-c) were investigated in air atmosphere by means of thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermogravimetry (DTG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) analyses. It was found that the decomposition of all compounds complete with two exothermic stages which corresponded to removal of substitute groups (methoxy-, ethyl-, nitro-) and second stage rest of structure decomposition.     

Calix[4]arene Resin,An Efficient Adsorbent for Azo Dyes

Dyes are a potential menace and are considered major contributors to environmental pollution. However, the cleanliness of the environment from colored toxicants is a challenging task of the contemporary era. In this regard, this approach is based on the confiscation of hazardous dyes. The main features of this work are the synthesis and the application of newly synthesized calix[4]arene grafted Amberlite XAD-4 (resin 5) for the selected methyl orange (MO) and methyl red (MR) azo dyes removal from aqueous environment. The adsorption ability of resin 5 for the selected azo dyes was evaluated through optimizing various parameters. Moreover, treatment with real water samples reveal that newly synthesized resin is an extremely effective adsorbent for the removal of the selected azo dyes from aqueous media.

Anion complexation by calix[4]arene-TTF conjugates

Calix[4]arenes bearing tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) moieties appended to the upper rim via the amidic functions were synthesized and used for ¹H 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.     

A Convenient Approach Toward Fluoride Sorption by Calix[4]arene Based Sorbent

The present study describes the sorption of fluoride on a potential and newly synthesized p-tetraaminocalix[4]arene based resin (p-TAC4 resin). The p-TAC4 resin was synthesized via immobilization of p-tetranitrocalix[4]arene (p-TNC4) onto the Merrifield resin followed by catalytic reduction with SnCl₂/EtOH/HCl. The p-TNC4 and p-TAC4 resins were characterized using FT-IR, elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fluoride removal capability from the aqueous media of the p-TAC4 resin has been evaluated through batch sorption study. The effect of pH, sorbate concentration, sorbent dosage, and contact time on fluoride removal was evaluated. The Langmuir (L), Freundlich (F), and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms revealed that the fluoride on p-TAC4 resin follows physiosorption mechanism. All the results support and emphasize that the p-TAC4 resin is an effective sorbent for the removal of fluoride from the aqueous environment at a wide range of pH. The study may confer its impact on human health, reinstate polluted sites and other fields such as analytical, clinical, as well as material sciences.

Preparation and characterization of p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arene imbedded flexible polyurethane foam: An efficient novel cationic dye adsorbent

In this study, a new type of flexible polyurethane foam containing p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arene (TC4A) macrocycle was synthesized. TC4A macrocycle was incorporated into polyurethane foam as a part of crosslinking agent as well as glycerol. Structural, morphological, thermal and mechanical properties of this prepared foam were studied and compared with a polyurethane foam based on only glycerol as crosslinking agent, by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The effect of introduction of TC4A crosslinker on cream time, rise time, apparent density, and water absorbency of the PU foams was evaluated. Moreover, it was shown that new TC4A-based polyurethane foam (TC-PUF) can be a high performance adsorbent for removal of malachite green from aqueous media using batch adsorption technique. The adsorption results indicated that TC-PUF has a high adsorption capacity of 58.82 mg/g for malachite green due to the presence of TC4A macrocycles in the structure of polyurethane foam. The kinetics of adsorption of malachite green was also investigated using the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The results of kinetic studies showed that the adsorption of malachite green onto TC-PUF followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Supramolecular Capsules Derived from Resorcin[4]arenes by H-Bonding and Metal Coordination: Synthesis,Characterization, and Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy

Self-assembly by H-bonding and by metal-coordination of functionalized calix[4]arenes and cavitands to large supramolecular capsules is described. In addition, a new method of analyzing supramolecular recognition processes at the single molecule level is discussed. By measuring interaction forces in a hydrogen-bonded assembly using single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS), the dynamics of the self-assembly process can be evaluated. In the future, consequent application of this new technique will influence supramolecular design principles and the use of non-covalent interactions as construction elements in the field of nanotechnology.     

Amino Acid-Functionalized Calix[4]Resorcinarene Solubilization by Mono- and Dicationic Surfactants

Poorly water-soluble calix[4]resorcinarenes modified with amino acid (Ala, Val) at the upper rim formed a water-soluble mixed system with micelles of monocationic surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetyldimethyl(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium bromide, and dicationic (gemini) surfactants, alkanediyl-α,ω-bis(dimethyltetradecylammonium bromides (14-s-14, where s = 2, 4, or 6). UV–Vis and DLS methods demonstrated that the micellar systems of surfactant/functionalized calix[4]resorcinarene underwent structural changes within a relatively narrow concentration range followed by changes in solubilization capacity and polydispersity. Gemini surfactants and monocationic/gemini mixed surfactant systems were provided selectivity in their interaction with calix[4]resorcinarene depending on the bulkiness of the substituent at the upper rim of calix[4]resorcinarene, gemini surfactant spacer length, and mixed micelles. These systems represent a direction to create biocompatible water-soluble functionalized calix[4]resorcinarene composition and may open perspectives in designing organized systems with controllable properties.     

Electrochemical response of ferrocenium filled calix[4]arene capsules in solution and immobilized on gold

Hydrogen-bonded dimers of tetra-urea calix[4]arenes are able to include ferrocenium ions as a guest. Heterodimeric capsules are exclusively formed in 1:1 mixtures of tetra-arylurea calix[4]arene 1 with tetra-tosylurea calix[4]arene 2. Sulfide groups attached via spacers on the urea rim of 1 allow their binding to metal surfaces rendering simultaneously their dissociation more difficult. Thus, the electrochemical response of encapsulated ferrocenium could be studied in a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) in addition to the solution electrochemistry with cyclic voltammetry. The stability of the electrochemically active monolayers was tested after a heat treatment (225 °C for 30 min in N₂ atmosphere) and multiple cycling (up to 1200 cycles), which could be required for a possible application as molecular based information storage.

Rate of Adsorption of Uranium from Seawater with a Calix[6]arene Adsorbent

Abstract

The rate of complex formation between calix[6]arene-p-hexasulfonate and uranyl ion is studied over a wide range of carbonate ion concentrations. The presence of carbonate ion decreases the complexation rate. The distribution of various uranyl species is calculated from a set of mass balances of participating ions with their stability constants. UO₂(CO₃)₃ ^4? has the highest concentration, followed by UO₂(OH)₃ ^? and UO₂(CO₃)₂ ^2?. Other uranyl species are negligible. The complexation rate is proportional to the 0.27–1.0 power of the total concentration of uranyl species other than UO₂(CO₃)₃ ^4?. This implies that the rate-determining step of the complexation is the reaction between calix[6]arene-p-hexasulfonate and UO₂(OH)₃ ^? or UO₂(CO₃)₂ ^2?.
