Abstract
A facile and convenient approach for the synthesis of dimeric calixarene, with a C6-bridge is described. C6-bridge spacer molecule increased the synthetic dimmer ability for further macromolecular studies. Our results (experimental and computational) show that the dimeric calixarene 6 has good affinity for Inositol hexaphosphate IP6.
Keywords: Calixarene dimers, supramolecules, inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), host-guest chemistry, facile approach, computational study.
