Extraordinary cohesiveness of a boronic acid-based calix[6]arene monolayer at the air-water interface
- Lehigh Univ., Bethlehem, PA (United States)
In this paper, we describe the design and synthesis of calix[6]arene. We also report our unexpected finding that monolayers of the surfactant exhibit extraordinary cohesiveness while in intimate contact with water; i.e., dehydration is not essential for stabilizing the film. The specific molecule that was chosen as a synthetic target was 5,11,17,23,29, 35-hexakis(3-dihydroxybora-1-propyl)-37,38,39,40,41, 42-hexakis(hexadecycloxy)calix[6]-arene, I. The synthesis of I proved to be straightforward using methods that have previously been developed for calix[6]arene and alkylboronic acids synthesis. 10 refs., 2 figs.
