Synthesis of a strapped calix[4]pyrrole: Structure and anion binding properties

초록

Enhanced affinity and selectivity for halide anions is seen for the strapped calix[4]pyrrole (see picture, X-=F-, Cl-) relative to normal calix[4]pyrroles. The encapsulated binding site differentiates the anions on the basis of size, and the existence of hydrogen-bonding interactions between the aromatic proton and halide anions has been verified by 1H NMR spectroscopy. A binding constant of approximately 3.87 × 106M was found for the fluoride complex.
