Vanadyl calix[6]arene complexes: synthesis, structural studies and ethylene homo-(co-)polymerization capability by Carl Redshaw, Mark J. Walton, Kenji Michiue, Yimin Chao, Alex Walton, Pertti Elo, Victor Sumerin, Chengying Jiang, Mark Elsegood

“…When the reverse order of addition was employed such that lithium tert-butoxide (7.5 equivalents) was added to L6H6, and subsequently treated with VOCl3 (2 equiv.), the complex {[VO(THF)][VO(μ-O)]2Li(THF)(Et2O)][L6]}·2Et2O·0.5THF (4·2Et2O·0.5THF), which contains a trinuclear motif possessing a central octahedral vanadyl centre linked via oxo bridges to two tetrahedral (C3v) vanadyl centres, was isolated. The calix[6]arene in 4 is severely twisted and adopts a ‘down, down, down, down, out, out’ conformation. …”

The first study about the relationship between the extractability of thiacalix[4]arene derivatives and the position of the coordination binding sites by Jiang-Lin Zhao, Hirotsugu Tomiyasu, Xin-Long Ni, Xi Zeng, Mark Elsegood, Carl Redshaw, Shofiur Rahman, P.E. Georghiou, Simon J. Teat, Takehiko Yamato

“…Three organic ionophores (2–4) based on the p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene backbone, blocked in the 1,3- alternate conformation, bearing two pyridyl coordinating moieties (ortho for 2, meta for 3 and para for 4), have been synthesized and characterized in the solid state. …”

Effect of alkyl chain length and linker atom on the crystal packing in 6,12-dialkoxy- and 6,12-dialkylsulfanyl-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]bis[b]benzothiophenes by Shahzad Riaz, Mark Edgar, Mark Elsegood, Lynne Horsburgh, Simon J Teat, Thomas G Warwick, George Weaver

“…The alkoxy substituted compounds adopted a molecular conformation with a step from the core and a gauche conformation about the C1’-C2’ bond placing the alkyl chains close to parallel with the pentacyclic arene ring system, whereas in the alkylsufanyl derivatives, the alkyl chains were arranged strongly deviated from the plane of the ring, with the sulfur atom anti-periplanar to C3’ of the alkyl chain. …”
