- Bidentate Urea Derivatives of p-tert-Butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene: Neutral Receptors for Anion ComplexationPublication . Marcos, Paula M.; Teixeira, Filipa A.; Segurado, Manuel A. P.; Ascenso, José R.; Bernardino, Raul J.; Michel, Sylvia; Hubscher-Bruder, VéroniqueThree new bidentate ureidodihomooxacalix[4]- arene derivatives (phenyl 5a, n-propyl 5b, and tert-butyl 5c) were synthesized in four steps from the parent compound ptert- butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene and obtained in the cone conformation, as shown by NMR studies. The binding ability of these neutral receptors toward spherical, linear, trigonal planar, and tetrahedrical anions was assessed by 1H NMR and UV-vis titrations. The structures and complexation energies of some complexes were also studied by DFT methods. The data showed that the association constants are strongly dependent on the nature of the substituent (aryl/alkyl) at the urea moiety. In general, for all the receptors, the association constants decrease with decrease of anion basicity. Ph-urea 5a is the best anion receptor, showing the strongest complexation for F- (log Kassoc = 3.10 in CDCl3) and also high binding affinity for the carboxylates AcO- and BzO-. Similar results were obtained by UV-vis studies and were also corroborated by DFT calculations.
- Complexation and DFT studies of lanthanide ions by (2-pyridylmethoxy)homooxacalixarene derivativesPublication . Marcos, Paula M.; Teixeira, Filipa A.; Segurado, Manuel A.P.; Ascenso, José R.; Bernardino, Raul; Cragg, Peter J.; Michel, Sylvia; Hubscher-Bruder, Véronique; Arnaud-Neu, FrançoiseThe binding of lanthanide cations by 2-pyridylmethoxy derivatives of p-tert-butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene (1b), in the cone conformation, and p-tert-butylhexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene (2b), in both cone and partial cone conformations, was studied. These properties were assessed by extraction studies of the metal picrates from water into dichloromethane and stability constant measurements in methanol and acetonitrile, using spectrophotometric and microcalorimetric techniques. Proton NMR titrations with La3+ and Yb3+ cations were done in order to get information on the binding sites. Computational methods (density functional theory (DFT) calculations) were also used to complement the NMR data. The p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene analogue (3b) was also studied, and the results of the four ligands were compared. Partial cone-2b is the best extractant for lanthanide ions, showing some preference for the heavy lanthanides. In complexation, all four ligands show the same trend and a high selectivity for Yb3+ (ML, log β ≥ 7). Besides the formation of ML complexes, ML2 species were also obtained. In most cases, these species were corroborated by the proton NMR studies. For partial cone-2b with Pr3+ the complexation process is enthalpically driven, whereas for 3b the formation of the ML2 species with this cation is due to a favourable entropy term. DFT studies indicate that ligand 3b forms the most stable complex with La3+, followed by partial cone-2b.
- Complexation and DFT studies of lower rim hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene derivatives bearing pyridyl groups with transition and heavy metal cations. Cone versus partial cone conformationPublication . Marcos, Paula M.; Teixeira, Filipa A.; Segurado, Manuel A. P.; Ascenso, José R.; Bernardino, Raul; Peter J. Cragg; Sylvia Michel; Véronique Hubscher-Bruder; Françoise Arnaud-NeuThe binding of representative alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavymetal cations by 2-pyridylmethoxy derivatives (1b, in cone and partial cone conformations) of p-tert-butylhexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene was studied. Binding was assessed by extraction studies of the metal picrates from water into dichloromethane and by stability constant measurements in acetonitrile and methanol, using spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques. Microcalorimetric studies of some selected complexes in acetonitrile were performed, as well as proton NMR titrations. Computational methods (density functional theory calculations) were also employed to complement the NMR data. The results are compared with those obtained with the dihomooxacalix[4]arene 2b and the calix[4]arene 3b derivative analogues. Partial cone-1b is the best extractant for transition and heavy metal cations. Both conformers of 1b exhibit very high stability constants for soft and intermediate cations Pb2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+, with cone-1b the strongest binder (ML, log b ≥7) and partial cone-1b the most selective. Both derivatives show a slight preference for Na+. Besides the formation of ML complexes, ML2 and M2L species were also observed. The former complexes were, in general, formed with the transition and heavy metal cations, whereas the latter were obtained with Ag+ and Hg2+ and partial cone-1b. In most cases, these species were corroborated by the proton NMR and density functional theory studies.
