The transport of potassium or calcium ion through the liquid membrane, in which the derivatives act as carriers, has been studied. The electron-effect of the substituent on the upper rim of calixarene possesses important effect on the net transport of metal ions. The p- tert-butylcalix[4]arene is the best carrier of calcium ion, compared with p-tert-calix[4]arene（n = 4, 6, 8）. The ptert-butylcalix[4]arene acid is better than p-tert-butylcalix [4]arene. The calixr43crown is the best carrier of calcium ions of all the carriers. The pH gradient between the source and receiving phase, and the concentration of K^＋ , Ca^2＋ ions in the source phase affect mainly transport. After the transport, the pH value of the source phase is found to be decreased, once the calix [n ] arene derivatives act as carrier. But it is not the case for the calix[n] crowns. It might be interpreted as the result of their different mechanisms.展开更多

All polyesters were readily soluble in polar solvents such as NMP （N-methylpyrrolidone）, DMF （dimethylformamide）, DMSO （dimethylsulfoxide）, pyridine, THF （tetrahydrofurane）, HMPA （hexamethylenephosphoramide） and DMAC （dimethylacetamide）. The PCES were also partially soluble in TCE （tetrachloroethane） and ethanol and they were unsoluble in aceton. The glass transition temperatures of polyesters were between 80-184 ℃, the crystallinity temperatures of polyesters were between 130-212 ℃ and the melting temperatures of polyesters were between 185-234 ℃, as determined by differential scanning calorimeter （DSC）. The inherent viscosities of polyesters were obtained from 0.55 dL/mg to 0.61 dL/mg. The temperatures at 10% weight loss of polyesters ranged from 182 ℃ to 237 ℃. The temperatures at 25% weight loss of polyesters ranged from 258 ℃ to 331 ℃. The half weight loss （50%） temperatures of polyesters were among 315 ℃ to 371 ℃ and the char yields at 600 ℃ were determined within 13% to 22.3% in N2 atmosphere, as determined by thermo gravimetric analysis （TGA）. The polyester, PES3, has the higher melting point （234 ℃） and higher inherent viscosity （molecular weight） than the other polyesters.展开更多

Their chiralities were confirmed by rotational analysis. Chiral recognition properties of these host compounds towards L- and D-threonine were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results indicated that calixarene derivatives 5 and 8 exhibited good chiral recognition capabilities toward L- or D-threonine. Although calixarene derivative 10 had no evident chiral recognition ability, the supramolecules of calixarene derivative 10 with L- or D-threonine showed a hypochromic effect or hyperchromic effect respectively. Therefore, calixarene derivative 10 might serve as a good chiral UV-indicator.展开更多
