Abstract

Synthesizing novel electron-rich calix[n]arene derivatives to alter the electronic properties of calixarene-based materials has been one of the long-standing interests. Herein, two new electron-rich calix[n]arenes (n = 4 and 8) with different sizes were synthesized by acid-catalyzed condensation reaction of 1,3,5-tripropoxybenzene and paraformaldehyde. Both derivatives were fully characterized with 1H and 13C NMR, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, their electrochemical properties and oxidized product (cation radicals) have also been investigated.
