A photoresponsive ion carrier based on calix[4]arene was synthesized for the control of Na+ flux across lipid bilayer membranes by visible light. Calix[4]arene was chosen as a basic skeleton of a photoresponsive ion carrier because its ether derivatives are known to act as Na+ ion carriers in lipid bilayer membranes. For the synthesis of a photoresponsive carrier, dimethylaminoazobenzene was in...

The conformational behavior of monosubstituted tri-methylsilyle ethynyl Derivative of Cal ix[4]arene as a newgeneration of Caliarene was compared with tetra alkylated calyx[4]arene. The most important conformationalphenomena in these compounds which are pinched cone interconversion process were done by semi-empiricalmethod and ab initio calculations with Gaussian 98w programming.

the interaction of p-sulphonatocalix [6] arene towards l-arginine and l-lysine has been studied inacidic aqueous solution (p1-1 2) using uv-vis spectrophotometric titration technique. the psulphonatocalix[6] arene was found to be able to form 1:1 complexe with amino acids in water.the values of the association constant were determined at different temperatures to evaluate thethermodynamic funct...

Enantiopure cis-dihydrodiol bacterial metabolites of substituted benzene substrates were used as precursors, in a chemoenzymatic synthesis of the corresponding benzene oxides and of a substituted oxepine, via dihydrobenzene oxide intermediates. A rapid total racemization of the substituted benzene 2,3-oxides was found to have occurred, via their oxepine valence tautomers, in accord with predict...

A pillar[4]arene[1]quinone and a difunctionalized pillar[5]arene have been synthesized by partial oxidation.

A macro-/mesoporous polymeric network with densely incorporated pillar[5]arene functionality was prepared via ionic complexation between a polymerized ionic liquid and carboxylated pillar[5]arene. It retained the solution-state host-guest property of the pillar[5]arene and was successfully applied as a selective absorbent for n-alklyene diols.

A series of calix[4]arene-supported Ln(III)(6) clusters have been synthesised under facile bench top conditions. The magnetic and structural properties of these clusters are reported, the latter suggesting that the Ln(III)-calix[4]arene moiety may be used for the construction of other assemblies in a manner akin to that for the Mn(III)-calix[4]arene analogue.

Three large negatively charged organic host molecules; β-cyclodextrin sulphate, para-sulphonato-calix[6]arene and para-sulphonato-calix[8]arene have been shown to be effective inhibitors of endonuclease in the low micromolar range, additionally para-sulphonato-calix[8]arene is a partial inhibitor of rhDNase I.
