Synthesis, crystal structure and remote allosteric binding properties of cone thiacalix[4]pseudocrown receptors bearing anthraquinone function and different arms

Abstract

Herein, three novel cone thiacalix[4]pseudocrown receptors 1–3, bearing anthraquinone and triazole functions as well as different side arms, were successfully synthesized via a double click reaction as the key step.

Preparation of Carboxy-Functionalized Covalent Organic Framework for Efficient Removal of Hg2+ and Pb2+ from Water

“…The heavy metal pollution of the water environment has drawn increasing attention because of public health damage and environmental toxicity . Hg 2+ and Pb 2+ ions are recognized as two of the most hazardous heavy metals and have been verified to be highly toxic even at low concentrations, mainly due to their bioaccumulation and nonbiodegradability . As a well-known event, Hg 2+ can cause Minamata disease .…”
