A new series of lanthanide (1–5) and uranyl (6) complexes with a tetra-substituted bifunctional calixarene ligand H2L is described. The coordination environment for the Ln3+ and UO22+ ions is provided by phosphoryl and salicylamide functional groups appended to the lower rim of the p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene scaffold. Ligand interactions with lanthanide cations (light: La3+, Pr3+; intermediate: Eu3+ and Gd3+; and heavy: Yb3+), as well as the uranyl cation (UO22+) is examined in the solution and solid state, respectively with spectrophotometric titration and single crystal X-ray diffractometry. The ligand is fully deprotonated in the complexation of trivalent lanthanide ions forming di-cationic complexes 2 : 2 M : L, [Ln2(L)2(H2O)]2+ (1–5), in solution, whereas uranyl formed a 1 : 1 M : L complex [UO2(L)(MeOH)]∞ (6) that demonstrated very limited solubility in 12 organic solvents. Solvent extraction behaviour is examined for cation selectivity and extraction efficiency. H2L was found to be an effective extracting agent for UO22+ over La3+ and Yb3+ cations. The separation factors at pH 6.0 are: βUO (Formula presented.) /La (Formula presented.) =121.0 and βUO (Formula presented.) /Yb (Formula presented.) =70.0.

Ionic liquids are described which have a very broad electrochemical stability window and which are therefore of high utility for a wide range of electrochemical energy storage device applications.

Phosphonates, azoles and quinones are pharmacophores found in bioactive compounds. A series of phosphonates conjugated to azoles and quinones with variable carbon chain lengths were synthesized in 3–4 steps with good yield. Antifungal assay of these compounds showed that ethyl protected phosphates have excellent inhibitory activity against phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum, and the free-base phosphates have good activity against human pathogenic fungi Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans. Structure- activity relationship (SAR) studies showed activity increases with longer carbon chain length between phosphonate and anthraquinone analogs consisting of azole and quinone moieties. These newly synthesized compounds also have mild antibacterial activities to Gram positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Cytotoxicity analysis of these compounds against HeLa cells reveals that the phosphoric acid analogs are less toxic compared to ethyl protected phosphonates. Three leads compounds have been identified with prominent antifungal activity and low cytotoxicity.
