Abstract
Two multiamide calix[4]arenes (5, 6) were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The binding properties of receptors with some anions (ρ-O2NPhOPO32-, ρ-O2NphO-, H2PO4, Ac-, Cl-, Br- and I-) were studied by UV-Vis spectra. The results indicate that the tetraamide calix[4]arenes (5, 6) have a good selectivity to the anions containing aromatic ring (τ-O2NPhOPO32-, τ-O2NphO-). The 1:1 complexes between host and guest were formed through multiple hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. The hosts 5 and 6 also show a definite binding ability for the anions (H2PO4-, Ac-, Cl-) that have no ultraviolet absorption, which provides a simple method of spectrum detection for these anions.
