The Chemical Doping of epitaxial graphene (EG) due to p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene was investigated using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES). The measured work function changes verified that increased adsorption of the p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene on EG showed p-type doping characteristics due to charge transfer from the graphene to the p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene through the hydroxyl group. A single oxygen bonding feature associated with the O 1s peak was clearly observed in the core-level spectra, indicating the presence of one equivalent adsorption state.

In this study we have performed ab initio computer simulations to investigate the conformational characteristics of the tetraethyl (1) and triethyl ester (2) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene. The structures of different conformational isomers for each compound have been optimized using ab initio RHF/6-31G methods. After optimization, B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) single point calculations of the final structures are done to include the effect of electron correlation and the basis set with diffuse function and polarization function. Relative stability of tetraethyl ester (1) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is in following order: cone (most stable) > partial cone > 1,3- alternate > 1,2-alternate isomer. Relative stability of triethyl ester (2) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is in following order: cone (most stable) > 2-partial cone > 1-partial cone > 3-partial cone ~ 1,3-alternate ~ 1,2- alternate isomer.

Tetra acyl esters of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and calix[4]arene, including acetyl, propionyl, butyryl and isobutyryl, are synthesized and their conformations are inferred from $^1H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ spectra. The conformer distribution is affected by the presence of t-butyl group, whereas the acylation products of p-t-butylcalix[4]arene are the cone conformers, those of calix[4]arene are mostly partial cone and/or 1,3-alternate conformers. The conformational outcome is also affected by the method of preparation, the NaH-induced reaction is prefered to the acid-induced reaction for cone and partial cone. Interestingly, 1,2-alternate conformer was isolated in 14% yield from the butyrylation of calix[4]arene.

The electronic and adsorption structures of Mg and p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (p-TBCA) adsorbed onto a Ge(100) surface under a variety of sample conditions were characterized using high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES) and their corresponding DFT calculation results. Interestingly, after 0.10 ML p-TBCA molecules had been adsorbed onto a Ge(100) surface, subsequent adsorption of a small amount of metallic Mg (~0.10 ML) resulted in the formation of a capped structure inside the pre-adsorbed p-TBCA molecules. The adsorption structures resulting from further deposition of Mg (~0.50 ML) onto the Ge(100) surface were monitored based on the surface charge state and Mg 2s core level spectrum. Work function measurements clearly indicated the electronic structures of the Mg and p-TBCA adsorbed onto the Ge(100) surface. Moreover, we confirmed that three different adsorption structures are experimentally favorable at room temperature through DFT calculation results.

An another symmetric cone conformational isomer of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene hexanoate(C/sub 68/H/sub 96/O/sub 8/) was prepared and was determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystals are orthorhombic, Pbca, a=20.625(3) Å, b=21.291(3)Å, c=30.22(4)Å, V=13271(2)ų and Z=8. The intensity data were collected on an Enraf-Noninus CAD-4 diffractometer with a graphite monochromated Mo-Kα radiation. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R value of 0.138 for 2394 observed reflections. The molecular conformation is distorted symmetric cone with the flattening B and D phenyl rings.

We have performed DFT calculations to investigate the conformational characteristics and hydrogen bonds of the p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene (1) and p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (2). The structures of different conformers of 1 were optimized by using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) method. The relative stability of the various conformers of 1 is in the following order: cone (most stable) > 1,2-alternate > partial-cone > 1,3-alternate. The relative stability of four conformers of 2 is in the following order: cone (most stable) > partial-cone > 1,2-alternate > 1,3-alternate. The primary factor affecting the relative stabilities of the various conformers of the 1 and 2 are the number and strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen-bond distances are discussed based on different calculation methods.

Two conformational isomers of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene hexanoate were prepared from the reaction of-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and hexanoly chloride in the presence of AlCl3 in CH2Cl2 and their structures were determined by NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction as a cone and a 1,3-alternate conformer, respectively. The crystal of cone conformer (C68H96O8·(CH3)2CO) is triclinic, P, a=15.066(1) , b=16.063(1) , c=16.365(1) , α=79.75(2)o, β=109.95(2)o, γ=80.32(0)o, V=3602.7(4) 3, Z=2. The intensity data were collected on Simens SMART diffractometer/CCD area detector. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R value of 0.144 for 4638 observed reflections. The molecular conformation is distorted symmetric cone with the flattening A and D phenyl rings. The crystal of 1,3-alternate conformer (C68H96O8·2CHCl3) is orthorhombic, Pca21, a=34.586(5) , b=10.207(3) , c=20.394(4) , V=7199(3) 3, Z=4. The intensity data were collected on an Enraf-Noninus CAD-4 Diffractometer with a graphite monochromated Mo-K radiation. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R value of 0.152 for 2241 observed reflections. The molecule has a pseudo mirror symmetric 1,3-alternate conformation.

The structures and energies of p-tert-butylcalix[5]crown-6-ether (1) and its alkylammonium complexes have been calculated by DFT B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method. We have studied the binding sites of these host-guest complexes focusing on the p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene pocket (endo) or the crown-6-ether moiety (exo) of 1. The smaller alkylammonium cations have the better complexation efficiency with p-tert-butylcalix[5]crown-6- ether than the bulkier alkylammonium ions. For the sec- and tert-butylammonium ions, the hydrogen-bond distances of the exo-complexes are shorter, therefore, stronger than the endo-cases. This DFT calculated result is in parallel with the trend of the experimental association constants of the branched butylammonium ions.

Several calixarene derivatives of 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyloxy)-26,27,28-trihydroxycalix[4]arene 2 were synthesized by the reaction of 2 with several acyl and alkylating agents in the presence of base such as pyridine and K2CO3 in THF. Acylation of monobenzoylated p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene 2 yielded their corresponding 1,3-diacylated calix[4]arenes 3a-3g. On the other hand, alkylation of 2 produced a variety calix[4]arene derivatives such as 1,2- and 1,3-disubstituted calix[4]arenes 4a-4c, 4e-4f, or 1,2,4-trisubstituted calix[4]arene 4d. 1,2-Disubstituted calix[4]arenes are chiral. All derivatives exist as a cone conformation based on NMR studies.
