Synthesis, characterization and electrochemical lithium-ion storage properties of sulfonylcalix[4]quinone

Abstract

Based on the mature synthesis and de-tert-butylation of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene, sulfonylcalix[4]quinone (SC4Q) bearing four sulfonyl-bridged groups was designed and synthesized for the first time. The whole synthetic strategy can be divided...
