Their scavenging activities against superoxide anion radical were investigated by chemiluminescence. The IC50 values of these compounds range from 280 to 880 μg/mL, which should be attributed to their different substitutes.展开更多

The obvious red-shift of absorption maximum band of calix[4]pyrrole in EtOH in the presence of the tetramethylammonium （TMA^＋） salts or tetraethylammonium （TEA^＋） salts were observed, due to the charge-transfer interactions between the electron-rich pyrrole rings of calix[4]pyrroles and TMA^＋ or TEA^＋ cation subunit. The results indicated that calix[4]pyrrole receptors, which link the anionic species through multiple hydrogen bonding interactions, can use the periphery cavity for selectively binding cation subunits by cation-π charge-transfer interaction. The subsidiary interaction mode helps to further stabilize the calix[4]pyrrole-anion complex.展开更多
