Recent advances in upper rim functionalization of resorcin[4]arene derivatives: Synthesis and applications

1,3-Diketone Calix[4]arene Derivatives—A New Type of Versatile Ligands for Metal Complexes and Nanoparticles

“…Calix[n]arene chemistry had been a top of current interest from late 1980 to early 2000 [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ], although up to now calix[n]arene backbones are still relevant as building blocks of different functional materials [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Calix[4]arenes, thiacalix[4]arenes and calix[4]resorcinarenes are the most widely applied scaffolds among other calix[n]arenes for embedding of different groups [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. The stability of a cone -conformation, in turn, opens new opportunities for the preorganization of functional groups, which is of great advantage in developing of ligands and extractants [ 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

Resorcinarene-appended octa-substituted alkyl arms: a new strategy to fabricate supramolecular materials for application in liquid crystals and solar cells

“…18 Further, a number of research groups have functionalized the resorcin [4]arene core with various types of functional group and reported various applications. [19][20][21][22][23][24] Self-assembled resorcinarene-based compounds with columnar type liquid crystalline properties have the ability to undergo phase transitions at higher temperature and the mesophase is stabilized at room temperature. To date, very few reports are available on resorcin [4]arene functionalized liquid crystalline materials with variable flexible alkyl chain but rare on lower rim functionalization.…”

Octa‐Substituted Resorcinarene Based Supramolecules and Its Liquid Crystalline and Biological Applications

“…[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] Due to its outstanding ability to flow as a liquid and visual qualities as crystals, liquid crystalline (LC) state analysis has now become a multidisciplinary research topic. [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] There have been very few reports of resorcin [4]arene-based mesogens in the literature to date. [61][62][63] Resorcin [4]arene has also been utilized to develop and produce biological active compounds, [64,65] as well as uncommon host molecules for chemical and biological research.…”
