Synthesis, structure and complexing properties of new calix[4](aza)crowns

Tetrahedron Letters, Volume 42, No. 9, Year 2001

The synthesis of calix[4](aza)crowns capped by one 'tren' or doubly capped by two azacrowns is described. The crystal structure of the tripodal 'tren' is given. Complexing properties towards Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Cu2+ are described. Conclusions are drawn on the role of functional groups and molecular topology in the complexation behavior of calix[4](aza)crowns. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
