Gold nanoparticles: calixarene complexation in a mixed calixarene–alkanethiol monolayer

RSC Advances, 2014
This paper describes a detailed study on the complexation of pyridinium derivatives with calixarenes bound to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The studied calixarene derivatives are mixed with alkanethiols to form mixed monolayers on AuNP surfaces. The key findings are: (i) even a small amount (less than 11 mol%) of calixarenes can retain their complexation

Steuerung der Rotation eines Guanidiniumkations durch Kation‐π‐Wechselwirkungen

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Ein Lanthanid‐π‐Container wurde für die Bindung eines Guanidiniumkations in dessen aromatischer Kavität mittels Kation‐π‐Wechselwirkungen verwendet. Röntgenkristallographie und Festkörper‐NMR‐Spektroskopie bei schneller Rotation um den magischen Winkel wurden verwendet, um die zugrundeliegenden Wirt‐Gast‐Interaktionen zu untersuchen.

Supramolecular Organocatalysis in Water Mediated by Macrocyclic Compounds

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
In the last decades many efforts have been devoted to design supramolecular organocatalysts able to work in water as the reaction medium. The use of water as solvent provides promising benefits with respect to environmental impact.

Controlling the Guanidinium Cation Rotation by Cation–π Interactions

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A lanthanide π‐container has been employed to trap a guanidinium cation inside the aromatic cavity by cation–π interactions. X‐ray crystallography and solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy at fast magic‐angle spinning (MAS) frequencies have been utilized to probe the underlying host–guest interactions.

Next Generation Hosts for Protein Recognition, Assembly and More

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The original design of synthetic receptors for proteins was based on macrocycles with a hydrophobic core and a polar/charged periphery. This design, geared towards protein recognition, facilitates receptor self‐assembly. Macrocycle oligomerization, in turn, contributes to protein assembly as evidenced in many cocrystal structures.

Cationic Permethylated Cyclodextrins Capable of Self‐Assembling Into Linear Nanostructures in Water

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A quaternary ammonium bridge equipped with a lipophilic substituent in permethylated cyclodextrins suppresses undesired supramolecular interactions and promotes controlled, directional head‐to‐tail self‐assembly into well‐defined linear nanostructures.

Synthesis of Imidazolium Cations Linked to Para-t-Butylcalix[4]arene Frameworks and Their Use as Synthons for Nickel-NHC Complexes Tethered to Calix[4]arenes

Molecules, 2023
A series of cationic p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenes, with side-arms that are functionalized with imidazolium groups, have been synthesized in good yields. The parent tetrahydroxy para-t-butyl-calix[4]arene was dialkylated at the phenolic hydrogen atoms using

Prism[5]MaxQ: A Sulfated Prism[5]Arene and Its Molecular Recognition Properties Toward a Panel of Quaternary Ammonium Guests

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We report the synthesis and characterization of a sulfated prism[5]arene host (Prism[5]MaxQ). Prism[5]MaxQ displays ultrahigh binding affinity (Ka up to 1012 M−1) toward hydrophobic (di)cations in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS). The work positions Prism[5]MaxQ as a new member of the family of ultrahigh‐affinity hosts poised for use as a sequestrant in

Exploring Calixarene‐Based Pseudorotaxane Architectures: Threading Ammonium Axles With an Exo‐Rim π‐Functionalized Calix[6]Arene Macrocycle

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This research presents a novel 1,4‐π‐functionalized calix[6]arene with enhanced interactions with dialkylammonium axles. We investigate threading behavior in CDCl3, highlighting how exo‐rim π‐functionalization affects binding affinity and stereoselectivity.
