REACTION OF TETRAKIS[(3-PYRIDYLMETHYL)OXY] P-TERT-BUTYLCALIX(4)ARENE WITH KAUCL4 AND K2PTCL6 - NEW PYRIDINOCALIX(4)ARENE ADDUCTS OF GOLD(III) AND PLATINUM(IV)
Afd. Denamor et al., REACTION OF TETRAKIS[(3-PYRIDYLMETHYL)OXY] P-TERT-BUTYLCALIX(4)ARENE WITH KAUCL4 AND K2PTCL6 - NEW PYRIDINOCALIX(4)ARENE ADDUCTS OF GOLD(III) AND PLATINUM(IV), Polyhedron, 16(11), 1997, pp. 1885-1888
Tetrakis [(3-pyridylmethyl)oxy]p-tert-butylcalix(4) arene prepared fro
m p-tert-butylcalix(4) arene and 3-chloromethylpyridine under basic co
nditions was characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR. Protonation constants
of this ligand in methanol at 298.15 K derived from potentiometric dat
a are reported. Au-III and Pt-IV adducts of kis[(3-pyridylmethyl)oxy]p
-tert-butylcalix(4)arene have been isolated. It is concluded that this
calixarene derivative displaces chloride ions from the coordination s
pheres of the central atoms in AuCl4- and PtCl6- species, engaging its
elf in direct interaction with Au-III and Pt-IV. (C) 1997 Elsevier Sci
