含有杯芳烃的树枝状分子

Dendrimers Based on Calixarenes

杯芳烃与树枝状大分子是超分子化学中两类极为重要的主体分子,将这两种主体分子结合在一起所得到的含有杯芳烃的树枝状大分子,不仅能够将两者的优点集中到一个分子之中,同时还有可能产生一些新颖的性能,成为新型的智能材料、分子器件或是纳米材料。本文按照杯芳烃的类型及其在树枝状大分子中的位置,综述了到目前为止有关这一新型主体分子的研究成果,展望了它未来的发展。

Calixarenes and dendrimers are two types of the most important host molecules in supramolecular chemistry. The link between calixarene and dendrimer has long been regarded as one of the most ambitious targets in this field. Calixarenes-based dendrimers have some promising advantages and novel properties due to their unique structures consisting of both calixarene and dendrimer. They can be potentially applied to many fascinating areas such as smart materials, molecular devices and nano materials. In this paper, the research works on calixarenes-based dendrimers are reviewed according to the category of calixarene and its position in dendirmers. Moreover, the progress in dendrimers based on calixarenes is prospected and more chemical examples of calixarenes-based dendrimers await discovery and creation
