For the surface-optoelectronic study of Saxitoxin sensing, we fabricated selfassembled calix[4]arene derivative monolayers as the recognition-functional interfaces on a gold surface. An interaction study between Saxitoxin and calix[4]arene derivative monolayers were performed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Among three calix[4]arene derivatives, calix[4]arene crown ether SAM...

To probe the influence of structural variation within dibenzo-16crown-5-oxyacetic acids upon the selectivity of alkali metal cation separations by solvent extraction and liquid membrane transport processes, studies have now been conducted in homogeneous solution by NMR spectroscopy and titration calorimetry and in the solid state. Condensation polymerization of such proton-ionizable lariat ethe...

The Sn, Cl and water O atoms of the title compound, [Sn(2)(CH(3))(4)Cl(4)(H(2)O)(2)]·C(10)H(20)O(5), lie on a special position of 2 site symmetry. The Sn(IV) atom shows cis-C(2)SnCl(2)O trigonal-bipyramidal coordination [C-Sn-C = 157.0 (1)°]; however, two [Me(2)SnCl(2)(H(2)O)] units are linked by a tin-chlorine bridge [Sn←Cl = 3.247 (1) Å] across a center of inversion, generating a dinuclear sp...

In the title compound, [Co(C25H30N4O4)2](ClO4)3·CH3OH·H2O, the metal atom is coordinated by two tridentate crown ether terpyridine ligands, forming a distorted CoN6 octa-hedron. The three pyridine rings in each crown-terpyridine ligand are approximately coplanar [maximum deviations = 0.088 (12) and 0.102 (15) Å] and the mean planes through the three pyridine rings are perpendicular to each othe...

Alkali metal triphenylsilyls [Li(12-crown-4)SiPh3]·(thf)0.5 (2), [Na(15-crown-5)SiPh3]·(thf)0.5 (3) and [K(18-crown-6)SiPh3(thf)] (4) were synthesized using 1,1,1-trimethyl-2,2,2-triphenyldisilane (Ph3SiSiMe3) and isolated in high yields. Solid state structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. These alkali metal silyls catalyzed the regioselective hydrosilylation of 1,1-diph...

Single crystals formed from hydrogen-bonding supramolecular cations of o-aminoanilinium (HOPD)­crown ethers, (HOPD)([12]crown-4), (HOPD)([15]crown-5), and (HOPD)([18]crown-6), and one-electron-reduced [PMo12O40] Keggin-type clusters were synthesized. The crystal structures and dielectric responses of the three new compounds (HOPD)4([12]crown-4)4[PMo12O40]¢4CH3CN (1), (HOPD)4([15]crown-5)4[PMo12...

The synthesis of novel magnesium, copper, and metal-free porphyrazines, peripherally substituted with dithia-7-crown-2 (MPz(7)), dithia-15-crown-5 (MPz(15)), and dithia-18-crown-6 (MPz(18)) macrocycles is reported. These compounds are prepared starting from dicyanoethylene containing crown ethers 3, 2(1), and 2(2), respectively, which contain sulfur as well as oxygen heteroatoms. The "crowned" ...
