Calix [n] arenes (n= 4, 5, 6, 8) are “chalicelike” phenol-based macrocycles that are among
the most fascinating and highly studied scaffolds in supramolecular chemistry. This stems …

Cations and anions play an important role in a wide range of chemical reactions, including
biological metabolism as well as many other processes. 1-6 For the purpose of detection …

Calixarenes are one of the macrocyclic receptors known to date besides crown ethers,
cyclodextrins, cryptands, and cucurbiturils. 1Ā3 These are synthesized from the base …

Advances in molecular and supramolecular organization are a major challenge in organic
chemistry. The control of molecular and supramolecular assembly may be obtained under …

The past ten years have seen a spectacular development of chemical sensors based on the
monomer–excimer dual luminescence of aromatic systems, such as pyrene. Either in the …

This article presents a systematic review of the coordination chemistry of calix [4] arenes,
which have been functionalised at the lower rim and are in the cone conformation. Particular …

A neutral 2-site chloride selective compound has been developed (3), based on a 1, 3-
alternate tetrasubstituted calix [4] arene providing a preorganized supramolecular scaffold …

A novel calix [4] arene-based chemosensor 1 based on Hg2+-induced fluorescence
resonance energy transfer (FRET) was synthesized, and its sensing behavior toward metal …

Synthesis of monopyrenylalkylamine derivative 1 and its fluorescence behavior for Cu2+ in
H2O/CH3CN (1: 1, v/v) were investigated. Upon Cu2+ binding, 1, bearing a sulfonamide …

A novel calix [4] arene derivative locked in the 1, 3-alternate conformation (2) bearing two
pyrene and rhodamine fluorophores was synthesized as a selective sensor for the Hg2+ ion …
