Direct synthesis of deep cavity p-Phenylcalix [4] arene in poly(ethylene glycol), and its self-association in the solid state

, p. 260 - 262 (2006)
p-Phenylcalix[4]arene is formed directly fromp-phenylphenol in 66% yield (50% isolated yield) using poly(ethylene glycol) as the reaction medium, with crystallization of the pure cavitand from toluene mediated by p-earborane. The solid-state structure comprises interlocking columnar arrays. CSIRO 2006.
Inter-digitation approach to encapsulation of C60: [C60 ? (p-phenylcalix[5]arene)2]
Makha, Mohamed,Hardie, Michaele J.,Raston, Colin L.
, p. 1446 - 1447 (2007/10/03)
p-Phenylcalix[5]arene shows a strong and selective binding of C60 in toluene resulting in crystallisation of a hemispherically inter-digitated 2:1 complex; the receptor itself crystallises from toluene with self assembly through phenyl group inclusion.
Direct synthesis of calixarenes with extended arms: p-phenylcalix[4,5,6,8]arenes and their water-soluble sulfonated derivatives
Makha, Mohamed,Raston, Colin L
, p. 6215 - 6217 (2007/10/03)
p-Phenylcalix[4,5,6,8]arenes have been isolated from the base catalysed condensation of p-phenylphenol with formaldehyde in tetralin, and selectively converted to the corresponding sulfonated derivatives using sulfuric or chlorosulfonic acids.
