On the Acidity of the Hydroxyl Groups in Calix[4]arenes and the Dissociation-dependent Conformational Change

Abstract: By using a water-soluble calix[4]arene derivative and a p-nitro-substituted calix[4]arene the pKa values of the OH groups were determined for the first time. The first dissociation occurred at pH < 1 while the dissociation of the last proton occurred at pH > 11, indicating that these molecules have a super-acidic proton as well as a super-basic oxy-anion within a molecule. We also found that the calixarene conformation changes as a function of medium pH. These novel findings are rationalized in t… Show more

“…As shown by Shinkai et al, 32 the same effect is observed for sodium p-sulfonate calix [4]arene salt relative to that of the corresponding noncyclic monomer. These authors also found that the methylene hydrogens of the oxy-anions formed by the dissociation of the hydroxyl groups of p-sulfonate calix [4]arene give a pair of doublets in the NMR spectrum, which is due to a more rigid conic conformation that resulted from the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding.…”

“…17 At pH 1 and 5, the binding of 1 to lysine and arginine causes large changes in the chemical shifts of the protons of the amino acid lateral chains. All peaks shift to higher magnetic field with increasing calixarene concentration.…”

“…In addition, the phenolic groups at the lower rim of the calixarene are likely in parts dissociated in MeOH because pK a3 in aqueous medium is 4.0 whereas the last proton has a much higher pK a4 . 11 [44]. Therefore, this calixarene has an advantageous ratio between the hydrodynamic radius and the effective charge.…”
