“…After working for a month, the response was 93% of the original value. Complex formation of a series of 1,3-lower rimsubstituted calix [4]arenes 103a-103d having semiand thiosemicarbazone fragments with Cl -, Br -, I -, ClO 4 -, HSO 4 -, H 2 PO 4 -, and PF 6 -(tetrabutylammonium salts) was studied by 1 H NMR titration [87]. Receptor 103a was capable of recognizing HSO 4 -among other anions.…”
