Extraction of Pb2+ with p-tert-butylcalix [4]-, [5]-, [6]Arene Carboxylic Acid Ligands and their Monomeric Counterpart: A Thermodynamic Approach

Studies on extraction equilibrium constants at different temperatures and thermodynamic parameters of solvent extraction of Pb²⁺ ion with carboxylic acid derivatives of different ring size calixarenes and structure related monomeric compound have been carried out. The extraction equilibrium constants corresponding to calix[n]arene (n?=?4, 5, 6) derivatives decrease in the order [5]arene > [6]arene > [4]arene. In all cases, the complexation process is primarily enthalpy driven. The favorable enthalpic contribution for extraction of Pb²⁺ is in the order hexamer ≈ monomer > tetramer > pentamer. However, the unfavorable entropic loss follows the order: monomer > hexamer > tetramer > pentamer. Overall stability of the host-guest complex is the function of entropy-enthalpy compensation and the free energy of complexation is minimum for the pentamer, followed by tetramer ≈ hexamer and monomer. Although the carboxylic acid derivative of calix[4]arene is more preorganized than the calix[5]arene derivative, extraction of Pb²⁺ ion with the tetramer passes through greater entropic loss than that with the pentamer and the degree of preorganization of calix[4]arene derivative is far from perfect for the complexation and extraction of Pb²⁺ ion. As compared to tetrameric and hexameric counterparts, the structural features of the carboxylic acid derivative of calix[5]arene prior to complexation contribute much to interact with the Pb²⁺ ion and form a thermodynamically stable complex.

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.

Synthesis of Various Calix[4]arene Derivatives with Mercaptoalkyl Chains and Their Application in Removing Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution

Four different mercaptoalkyl-substituted calixarene derivatives (5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis(3-mercaptopropoxyl)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene, 25,27-bis(3-mercaptopropoxyl)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene, 25,27-bis(5-mercaptopentanoxyl)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene and 5,17-di-tert-butyl-11,23-di-carboxyl-26,28-bis(3-mercaptopropoxyl)-25,27-di-hydroxycalix[4]arene) were synthesized. Their structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis techniques. Moreover, their extraction capabilities at different parameters such as pH, shaking speed, and shaking time were examined toward dichromate ions. Results implied that all mercaptoalkyl-substituted calixarene derivatives showed an extraction capability toward dichromate anion while the carboxyl-functionalized calixarene-marcapto-alkyl derivative exhibited the highest extraction capability.     

Novel linear molecular aggregation tethered by hydrogen-Bonded interaction within the crystalline calix[4]arene derivatives

Single crystals of two calix[4]arene derivatives, that is, 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl- 25,27-bis[2-[N-(3-methoxy-4-methoxy-benzylidene)-amino]ethoxy]-26,28- dihydroxy calix[4]arene (1) and 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis[2-[3- pyridine carbonyl-amino]ethoxy]-26,28-dihydroxy calix[4]arene (2), were prepared and their crystal structures have been determined by X-ray crystallographic study. As compared with calix[4]arene derivative 1 possessing CN functional group, compound 2 bearing the NH group could form not only intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen atom in NH group and the oxygen atom in CO of an adjacent calix[4]arene molecule, but also intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the N—H⋯OC moieties in solid state, giving a rare linear molecular aggregation.     

Fabrication of Calix[]arene Derivative Monolayers to Control Orientation of Antibody Immobilization

Three calix[4]arene (Cal-4) derivatives which separately contain ethylester (1), carboxylic acid (2), and crownether (3) at the lower rim with a common reactive thiol at the upper rim were synthesized and constructed to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au films. After spectroscopic characterization of the monolayers, surface coverage and orientation of antibody immobilized on the Cal-4 derivative SAMs were studied by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. Experimental results revealed that the antibody could be immobilized on the Cal-4 derivatives spontaneously. The orientation of absorbed antibody on the Cal-4 derivative SAMs is related to the SAM’s dipole moment. The possible orientations of the antibody immobilized on the Cal-4 derivative 1 SAM are lying-on or side-on, while on the Cal-4 derivative 2 and Cal-4 derivative 3 head-on and end-on respectively. These experimental results demonstrate the surface dipole moment of Cal-4 derivative appears to be an important factor to antibody orientation. Cal-4 derivatives are useful in developing site direct protein chips.     

Molecular composites obtained by polyaniline synthesis in the presence of p‐octasulfonated calixarene macrocycle

Polyaniline (PANI) molecular composites were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of the aniline and aniline dimer, N‐phenyl‐1,4‐phenylendiamine, in the presence of a macrocycle, calix[8]arene p‐octasulfonic acid (C8S), using ammonium peroxidisulfate as oxidant. The macrocycle has acted both as acid dopant and surfactant to obtain processable PANI‐ES. The PANI/calix[8]arene p‐octasulfonic acid composite was also obtained by a simple doping of PANI emeraldine base form with calix[8]arene sulfonic acid. The structure of materials was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, UV–vis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. All synthesized composite materials are amorphous and soluble in chloroform, dimethylsulfoxide, NMP, showing excellent solution‐processing properties combined with electrical conductivity. Cyclic voltammetry evidenced a good electroactivity for the composite films. Dielectric properties (dielectric constant and dielectric losses) were determined and are comparable with those of other PANI/ionic acid polymer composites. Preliminary studies have evidenced a high dielectric constant (10⁴ at 100 Hz) and electrical conductivity of 6 × 10^?3 S/cm for PANI composites. From sulfur elemental analysis of the PANI/calixarene, it results that the content in macrocycle is ～30% (weight). © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013

Synthesis of novel calix[6]-1,4-crown-based netty polymer and its excellent adsorption capabilities for aniline derivatives

By introducing four ester groups on p-tert-butylcalix[6]-1,4-crown-4 and then ammonolysis with ethanolamine, p-tert-butylcalix[6]-1,4-crown-4 amido derivative with four terminal hydroxyl groups (4) was obtained in good yield. Further by reacting compound 4 with 1,1,1-tris(tosylatemethyl)propane (6) in NaH/THF system, the novel netty calix[6]-1,4-crown-based polymer 7 was prepared in ??4+3?? condensation mode. The structure of polymer 7 was confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR spectra. The loose pores and cross-linked netty architecture were observed for polymer 7 in its SEM images. The M _n of polymer 7 was 39,816 which indicated an average of approximately 23 calixarene units in each polymer molecule. Polymer 7 exhibited outstanding adsorption abilities for series of aniline derivatives (aniline, o-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, p-phenylenediamine, o-nitroaniline, m-nitroaniline and p-nitroaniline). The adsorption percentages for these aniline derivatives were above 90?%. The saturation adsorption capacities for aniline and p-nitroaniline were as high as 2.30 and 2.22?mmol/g, respectively. The adsorption abilities of polymer 7 kept stable at pH 6?C10 and it could be re-used after desorption of 10?% HCl. The high adsorption abilities of polymer 7 for aniline derivatives were not just because of ?ШC?? stack action of the phenyl groups and the hydrogen bond action, but also due to the stable conformation of calix[6]arene skeleton and big cavity, which were favorable for adsorption of aniline derivatives.     

Synthesis and characterization of calix[4]arene-based copolyethers and polyurethanes. Ionophoric properties and extraction abilities towards metal cations of polymeric calix[4]arene urethanes

Copolyethers and polyurethanes containing lower and upper rim calix[4]arene units in the fixed cone conformation were prepared in good yield by polycondensation reactions of distal calix[4]arene diols with bisphenol-A/dibromomethane and 2,4-tolylendiisocyanate (TDI), respectively. In a similar way were prepared calix[4]arene-crown-5 and -crown-6 polyurethanes in the fixed 1,3-alternate conformation by condensation of TDI with lower rim calixcrown-5 and calixcrown-6 diols. However, the poor solubility in common organic solvents of the copolyether derivatives (M_w=11,100-11,600 g/mol) hampered further studies on their ionophoric properties. Aiming to obtain model compounds for the investigation of both extraction abilities and ionophoric properties of the polyurethane materials, several bis-urethanes were also synthesized by reaction of the calix[4]arene diols with p-tolylisocyanate (TI). The extraction ability measurements of monomeric and polymeric calix[4]arene urethanes (M_w=12,300-83,500 g/mol) towards alkali metal cations (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺) and Ag⁺showed a remarkable efficiency and selectivity of calixcrown-6 polyurethane toward Rb⁺, Cs⁺and Ag⁺.
