Mono,arenes in the cone, partial cone and 1,3-alternate conformations have been synthesised and their complexation ability towards selected anions has been studied. The structure-anion complexation ability relationship has been systematically monitored. A new type of very efficient ligands based on diureido-calix [4]arene in a 1,3-alternate conformation with pronounced bonding ability towards carboxylates was designed.
Alkylation of thiacalix[4]arenes with ethyl bromoacetate led to high yields (≈60%) of corresponding tetraacetates in various conformations (cone, partial cone, 1,3-alternate) depending strictly on the carbonate (Na, K, Cs) used for the reaction. The complexation ability of new compounds was studied by 1H NMR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
