Abstract

The conformational and dynamic behaviour of the 25,26,27,28-tetraalkoxycalix[4]arenes 1-7 (R = methyl, propyl) has been investigated by X-ray crystallography, dynamic 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, as well as with a series of force field (PIMM) and semiempirical (PM3, MNDO) calculations. The stereo-electronic effects of the upper rim substituents of tetramethoxycalix[4]arenes characteristically influence the preferred arrangement of the phenyl rings in the paco conformation. The in/out isomerisation (0001∼ AAAA⇄0001∼AAAB) taking place in 4 is strongly hindered in 1 due to the smaller diameter of the upper rim. The ease of rotation of the methoxy group attached to the inverted ring in paco-4 can be altered by using a solvent (CDCl), which is able to form a host-guest complex with the calixarene cavity. For 1-3 conelpaco and pacolpaco equilibria have been observed by 2D EXSY spectroscopy. Gibbs activation energies for the cone(C)/cone(C) conversion were determined for 1, 2, 5 and 6. An NMR line shape analysis provided Arrhenius and Eyring activation parameters for the cone(C)/cone(C) conversion in 5 and 6.
