Functional modification, self-assembly and application of calix[4]resorcinarenes

Fabrication of para-dimethylamine calix[4]arene functionalized self-assembled graphene oxide composite material for effective removal of 2, 4, 6-tri-Cholorphenol from aqueous environment

“…However, calixarenes and their derivatives have unique complexation abilities that allow for recognition of target molecules with high selectivity and efficient supramolecular recognition as well [ 30 , 31 ]. Moreover, they contain numerous cavity dimension with possibility to functionalization their upper and lower rim with different functional groups to improve its properties and to tailor their strong interaction with a target host molecules through different non-covalent interaction such as hydrogen bonding, π - π stacking, cation- π and CH-π interaction with the surface of target molecule [ [32] , [33] , [34] ]. Consequently, the incorporation of calixarene and its derivatives with the graphene oxide have become promising platform in various areas of research including sensing, electronics, separation, molecular recognition and adsorption of different organic and inorganic compounds from the aqueous environment [ 35 , 36 ].…”

A NiO-nanostructure-based electrochemical sensor functionalized with supramolecular structures for the ultra-sensitive detection of the endocrine disruptor bisphenol S in an aquatic environment

“…[43][44][45] Calixarenes are macrocyclic compounds that consist of phenol rings connected to each other by methylene groups at the ortho position. [46][47][48][49] Calixarenes belong to the third generation of supramolecules; they are easily synthesized and can be converted into different derivatives by introducing various functionalities to their upper or lower rims. 50,51 Calixarenes and their derivatives with various functionalities can also be used as capping agents for the functionalization of various NPs.…”

The effect of water in THF/water mixtures on CMC, aggregation sizes, and fluorescence quenching of a new calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycle

“…Vesicles, micelles, and nanoparticles are observed in water, while AFM studies revealed unexpected layered structures in amphiphilic calixarenes. 30 This highlights the tunable nature of resorcinarene self-assembly, allowing researchers to design materials with tailored properties for various applications.…”
