Rjw. Lugtenberg et al., PB2-MODIFIED FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS BASED ON THIOAMIDE FUNCTIONALIZED 1,3-ALTERNATE CALIX[4]ARENES( AND CD2+ SELECTIVE CHEMICALLY), Perkin transactions. 2, (7), 1997, pp. 1353-1357
Novel calix[4]arenes fixed in the 1,3-alternate conformation and funct
ionalized with thioamide groups have been synthesized and their select
ivities for Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions in chemically modified field effect tra
nsistors (CHEMFETs)have been evaluated, The 5,27-bis(dimethylaminothio
carbonylmethoxy)-26, 28-dipropoxycalix[4]arene 3 in the 1,3-alternate
conformation is more selective for Pb2+ than the analogous cone confor
mer, The 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene 8 having, in the 25- and 27-posit
ions, two pairs of vicinal thioamide moieties at the same face of the
molecule, has the highest selectivities for Cd2+ reported so far.
