CALIX(8)ARENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light yellow to cream-brown powder

Uses

It is used in the study on the chromatographic behavior of water-soluble vitamins on p-tert-butyl-calix [8] arene-bonded silica gel stationary phase by HPLC.

Uses

Calix[8]arene can be used:

• To prepare water-soluble glycocalix[8]arenes, which are used as model compounds to study the carbohydrate-protein binding interactions.
• As a starting material in the synthesis of calix[8]arene sulfonic acids of biological importance.
• As a ligand in the synthesis of tetranuclear calix[8]arene bismuth complexes.
