Thiacalixarenes represent readily available three-dimensional structures used as
useful building blocks in the design of supramolecular systems. They are well known
receptors to various types of guests: metal ions, organic substrates and metal complexes.
Catechol derivatives are perspective for applications in medicine, analytics, catalysis,
and for metal-coordination frameworks creation.
1,3-alternatethiacalix[4]aren derivative Metal cation
In the present work the possibility of combination two interesting class of precusors
1,3-alternate thiacalix[4]arenes with omega mercapto groups and catechol derivatives
for new nanoscale size macrocycles formation were established.
The structure and conformation of firstly obtained compounds were characterized
by the means of 1D 1 Н and 13 С NMR spectroscopy and methods of 2D NMR spectroscopy,
IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry.
