A new class of polycalix[4]arene hosts has been constructed based on a carbosilane dendrimer architecture, in which each dendritic branch terminates with a calix[4]arene entity. This study reports the synthesis and characterization of the zeroth generation example with four calix[4]arenes and of the first generation example with 12 calix[4]arenes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
