A Novel and Effective Strategy for the Construction of "Tube-Like" Double Resorcin[4]arenes

Redox-switchable binding of ferrocyanide with tetra(viologen)calix [4] resorcine

“…Calixarene electro-switchable host-guest systems described in literature [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] operate through the reversible redox switching of guests. Our results obtained previously [53] and in this investigation demonstrate the possibility of creating switchable systems with the redox-conversion of calixarene containing redox-active groups.…”

“…(Thia)calix[n]arenas and calix [4] resorcines, as macrocyclic polyphenols, are electrochemically active compounds with a tendency for oxidation [37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. But these oxidation reactions are reversible only under specific conditions, and in most cases they are irreversible.…”

Synthesis of a resorcinarene-based tetraphosphine-cavitand and its use in Heck reactions

“…† The core of the molecule adopts the typical bowl-shaped structure found in other resorcinarene cavitands, with the eight O-CH 2 vectors pointing "upwards". 29, 30 The top rim diameters, i.e. the segments linking the CH 2 -substituted carbon atoms of opposite resorcinol-derived rings are both 8.11 A ˚.…”

Oxime Decorated Cavitands Functionalized through Solvent-Assisted Grinding

“…To obtain a somewhat deeper cavity with the potential for a more flexible interior space, we combined a tetrabromom-ethyl cavitand 8 precursor and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The substitution reaction of 8 with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with K 2 CO 3 as a base yielded tetraaldehyde cavitand 9 22 which upon treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride under basic conditions afforded the flexible tetraaldoxime cavitand 10 (Scheme 3).…”
