the solvent extraction of rare earth metal ions from nitrate solutions by 5.11.17.23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis(diethylcarbamoylmethoxy)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene (l) in 1,2-dichloroethane has been investigated. the alalysis of the extraction equilibrium obtained from a mixture of la3+, eu3+, er3+ and y3+ revealed that the extracted species have a 1:1 metal/ligand ratio. the intra-group sepa...

An azobenzene bridge was introduced into the lower (or smaller) rim of p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene to form 1,5-singly bridged calix[8]arene derivatives, respectively. Bridged calix[8]arene of conformationally rigid wereisolated. The stability of the two structures of bridged calix[8]arenes have been compared.The study of organicstructure to form nanoporous structures is a well known in chemistry ...

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.

siilver tetrafluoroborate complex of 5.11.17.23-tetra-tert-butyl-25-26,27,28-tetrakis (diphenylphosphinoylmethoxy)calyx[4]arene (l) has been synthesized by reaction of silver tetrafluoroborate and l in dichloromethane at room temperature. the complex formed has a 1:1 metall/ligand ratio. 1h and 31p nmr data support an encapsulated structure of the complex in which silver ion is located inside t...

Diffuse reflectance and luminescence techniques were used to study the photophysics and photochemistry of pyrene within p-tert-butylcalix[n]arenes with n = 4, 6, and 8, and to study their ability to form inclusion complexes in heterogeneous media. Evidences for inclusion complex formation were found for the three hosts under study. Ground state diffuse reflectance results have shown the formati...

New ferrocene substituted calix[4 and 5]arenes have been prepared and the crystal structure of a lower-rim substituted bis ferrocene calix[4]arene (7) has been elucidated. The respective ferrocene/ferrocenium redox-couples of compounds 6 (a calix[4]arene tetra ferrocene amide) and 8 (a calix[5]arene pentaferrocene amide) are shown to be significantly cathodically perturbed in the presence of an...

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

The ion transport activity of calix[4]arene tetrabutylamide 1,3-alt 2 was studied in liposomes, planar lipid bilayers, and HEK-293 cells. These experiments, when considered together with (1)H NMR and X-ray crystallography data, indicate that calix[4]arene tetrabutylamide 2 (1) forms ion channels in bilayer membranes, (2) mediates ion transport across cell membranes at positive holding potential...
