Calix[4]-bis-Crowns: From Nuclear Waste Treatment to Molecular Machines

  • Conference paper

Abstract

1,3-Calix[4]-bis-crowns are ditopic receptors able to form 1:1 and 1:2 complexes with alkali and ammonium cations. X-ray structures of the Cs+ complexes showed the 1,3-Calix[4]-bis-crown-6 to be highly preorganized prior to complexation. They showed very high Cs+/Na+ selectivity which allowed their used in the removal of cesium from radioactive wasted waters. Cation-tunneling has been evidenced through the cavity of the calixarene unit with 1,3-calix[4]-bis-crown-5. It is also presented the synthesis and complexation properties of 1,3-calix[4]-bis-aza-oxacrowns and 1,3-Calix[4]-bis-cryptands.
