Three new silica gel modified with calix[4]arene derivatives (p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene (PC4), calix[4]arene (C4) and calix[4]arene sulfonate (C4S)) have been prepared via modification of activated silica gel...Three new silica gel modified with calix[4]arene derivatives (p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene (PC4), calix[4]arene (C4) and calix[4]arene sulfonate (C4S)) have been prepared via modification of activated silica gel with toluene 2,4-di-iso-cyanate (TDI) as linker in tow step. The modified silica were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT1R), thermal analysis (TGA) and elemental analysis. The FTIR spectra and TGA analysis verified that the calix[4]arene derivates are covalent attached to the silica. Scanning electron microscope SEM and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller BET analysis have been done to get information about the sample's surface shape and area. SEM and BET analysis reveal that the modified silica are in the range of microporous adsorbent.展开更多

Under the optimal conditions, the reactions occurred with moderate-to-excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). A plausible transition state constructed by the supra- molecular interaction of hydrogen bond and cation-π between catalysts and substrates has been proposed.展开更多

The critical aggregation concentration of gemini surfactants decreased pronouncedly by a factor of ca. 1000 owing to the complexation of p-sulfonato-calix[4]arene.展开更多

In THF-water mixture, Compound 2 exhibits a strong fluorescence emission, with a large Stokes shift(λex/em = 357 nm/505 nm, Δλ = 148 nm), which helps to avoid interference in excitation and emission. For the metal ions tested, the fluorescence of Compound 2 was quenched only by Fe3+ and Cr3+ ions. Evidence for the hydrolysis reaction promoted by the metal ions is given by X-ray crystallography, mass spectra(MS), infrared(IR) spectra, and fluorescence spectroscopy data.展开更多
Arnphiphilic cyclodextrin-calixarene conjugates 1 and 2 were synthesized from "click claemxstry, and tnelr sen-asscmuly uchaviors were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy...Arnphiphilic cyclodextrin-calixarene conjugates 1 and 2 were synthesized from "click claemxstry, and tnelr sen-asscmuly uchaviors were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The results obtained show that 1 and 2 can self-assemble to form distinctly different aggregations, and the morphology of aggregations critically relies on the polarity and hydrophilicity of the solvent.展开更多
The syntheses, crystal structures, magnetic and luminescent properties of three isornorphous compounds [LnIII6(,u4-O)2(C4A)2- (NO3)2(HCOO)2(CH30)2(DMF)4(CH3OH)4] (Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2) and Dy (3); H...The syntheses, crystal structures, magnetic and luminescent properties of three isornorphous compounds [LnIII6(,u4-O)2(C4A)2- (NO3)2(HCOO)2(CH30)2(DMF)4(CH3OH)4] (Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2) and Dy (3); H4C4A = p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene) are reported. These three compounds are featured with the sandwich-like units constructed by two tail-to-tail calixarene molecules and an in-between Lnm6 octahedron. The DyTM compound exhibits both single molecule magnet behavior and photoluminescence.展开更多
