The (o-p-o)-Terphenyl Embedded Calix[2]phyrin(2.2. 1 .1. 1 ) and Its Cu(II) Complex

Chem Asian J. 2024 Mar 19:e202400135. doi: 10.1002/asia.202400135. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe introduction of a higher arene unit as a structural motif is unprecedented in calixphyrin chemistry. Herein, the syntheses, spectral and structural characterization of heretofore anonymous terphenylene unit (o-p-o) incorporated calixphyrin with fused sp2meso carbons is reported. The explicitly tailored macrocyclic core is utilized to stabilize the Cu(II) metal ion. The molecular structures of the calixbenziphyrin and Cu(II) complex are unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Moreover, theoretical supports uphold experimental conclusions.PMID:38503696 | DOI:10.1002/asia.202400135
