Thiacalixarenes: Synthesis and structural analysis of thiacalix[4]arene and of p- tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene

The synthesis of tetrathiacalix[4]arene was achieved by the detertiobutylation of p- tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that in the solid state whereas p- tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene forms inclusion complexes with solvent molecules, tetrathiacalix[4]arene under...

Description
Summary:The synthesis of tetrathiacalix[4]arene was achieved by the detertiobutylation of p- tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that in the solid state whereas p- tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene forms inclusion complexes with solvent molecules, tetrathiacalix[4]arene undergoes self-inclusion leading to trimeric units. The same behaviour in the crystalline phase was also demonstrated for calix[4]arene. The synthesis of tetrathiacalix[4]arene was achieved. In the solid state, whereas p- tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene was shown to form inclusion complexes with a variety of small solvent molecules, tetrathiacalix[4]arene was found to form trimeric entities by self-inclusion.
