Title: Glued Langmuir-Blodgett bilayers from calix[n]arenes: Influence of calix[n]arene size on ionic cross-linking, film thickness, and permeation selectivity

Abstract

A homologous series of calix[4]arene-, calix[5]arene- and calix[6]arene-based surfactants, containing pendant trimethylammonium and n-hexadecyl groups, have been compared with respect to their ability (i) to undergo ionic crosslinking at the air/water interface, (ii) to incorporate poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) bilayers, and (iii) to act as barriers towards He, N₂ and CO₂ when assembled into crosslinked LB bilayers. As these calix[n]arenes increase in size, their ability to undergo ionic crosslinking has been found to increase, the thickness of corresponding glued LB bilayers has been found to decrease, and their barrier properties and permeation selectivities have been found to increase. In conclusion, the likely origin for these effects and the probable mechanism by which He, N₂ and CO₂ cross these ultrathin films are discussed.

Insight into the permeation selectivity of calix[n]arene-based Langmuir-Blodgett films: Importance of headgroup association and the solid phase

Journal Article Hendel, R; Zhang, L; Janout, V; ... - Langmuir

This paper reports the design and synthesis of 5,11,17,23,29,35-hexaacetyl-37,38,39,40,41,42-hexakis(1-hexadecyloxy)calix[6]arene (2) and 5,11,17,23-tetraamideoxime-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(1-hexadecyloxy)calix[4]arene (3), plus a detailed comparison of the membrane properties of corresponding Langmuir-Blodgett films with those assembled from 5,11,17,23,29,35-hexaamideoxime-37,38,39,40,41,42-hexakis(1-hexadecyloxy)calix[6]arene (1a). Surface pressure-area isotherms that were recorded for 1a and 2 over a pure water subphase at 25 C showed significant hysteresis that was eliminated after two compression-expansion cycles; the limiting area in both cases was ca. 162 {angstrom}{sup 2}/molecule. In sharp contrast, 3 showed no hysteresis at 25 C and a limiting area of 107 {angstrom}{sup 2}/molecule.

Perforated monolayers: Design and synthesis of porous and cohesive monolayers from mercurated calix(n)arenes

Journal Article Markowitz, M; Janout, V; Regen, S; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society; (USA)

Mercuration of a series of O-alkylated calix(n)arenes (produced via reaction of tetrahydroxycalix(4)arene, pentahydroxylcalix(5)arene, hexahydroxycalix(6)arene, and heptahydroxycalix(7)arene with n-bromobutane and with n-bromohexadecane) afford an homologous series of calixarene-based surfactants that form stable monolayers at the air-water interface. Surface pressure-area isotherms, measured for each calixarene, yield limiting areas that are in excellent agreement with values predicted from space-filling models, if it is assumed that the base of each calixarene is parallel and the alkyl chains are perpendicular to the water surface. Introduction of malonic acid to the aqueous subphase results in a substantial increase in the cohesiveness of films derived from calix(4)arene-,more »« less

Membrane composites derived from porous versus nonporous surfactants. Evidence for uniqueness of calix[6]arene-based surfactants

Journal Article Lee, W; Hendel, R; Dedek, P; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

In this paper we provide evidence for uniqueness of calix[6]arene surfactants as building blocks for the construction of permeation-selective composites. Specifically, we show that membranes made from poly[1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne] (PTMSP) plus multilayers of calix[6]arene I exhibit significant permeation selectivity toward He and N{sub 2}, but that those based on arachidic acid (AA), cadmium arachidate (AA/Cd{sup 2+}), a polyion complex of AA plus poly(ethyleneimine) (AA-PEI), and stearamide oxime (SA) show no permeation selectivity and no alteration in the barrier properties of the support. We also report results of surface analyses of PTMSP/I and PTMSP/SA by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) that offer insightmore »« less

Synthesis, characterization, and chemical sensitivity of self-assembled bilayers composed of polydiacetylenes and Calix[4]arenes chemically modified on the upper rim

Journal Article Dermody, D; Lee, Y; Kim, T; ... - Langmuir

The authors report the synthesis, characterization, and sensor-related chemistry of self-assembled polydiacetylene (PDA)/calix[4]arene-X (CA[4]-X; X = -H, -phenylazo, and -dibenzylamino) bilayers on Au surfaces. Surface infrared spectroscopy indicates that acid chloride-terminated PDA self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) react with hydroxyl groups present on the lower rim of the calixarenes to yield ester-linked bilayers. Nanogravimetric titrations of unreacted PDA acid groups with n-butylamine indicate that the three CA[4]-X derivatives cover an average of 69% of the PDA surface. The mass titration serves a secondary purpose by passivating voids between calixarenes with n-butylamine. The response of the bilayers to four aromatic analytes: anisole, benzene,more »« less

Unusual pressure effects on the permeation properties of a Langmuir-Blodgett composite membrane

Journal Article Lee, W; Hendel, R; Dedek, P; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

In this paper, the authors document their discovery of extraordinary permeation properties of composite membranes derived from Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) multilayers of calix[6]arene I plus poly[1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne] (PTMSP) film. Specifically, it is shown that the intrinsic permeability and selectivity of such composites toward He and N{sub 2} increase with increasing permeant pressures. In striking contrast, analogous composites prepared with a `conventional` polymeric surfactant, poly(1-octadecene-co-maleic anhydride) (II) show unexceptional behavior, i.e., permeation characteristics that are independent of pressure. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are briefly discussed. 8 refs., 2 figs.
