Objectif
properties of complexation can be used to design chemical tools or chemical systems, molecules or assemblies of molecules with predetermined chemical or physical properties. Specific targets in the projects will be, carriers in membrane systems, sensory molecules in ion selective electrodes (ISE) and ion sensitive field effect transistors (ISFET), and sequestering molecules with high selectivity and high kinetic stability. The latter will be useful for detoxification processes and in diagnostic or therapeutic techniques (with radioactive isotopes in the complexes).
The synthesis of modified calixarenes and of more sophisticated compounds containing (several) calixarene subunits and be the use of these molecules as molecular templates for synthetic receptore will be investigated. Stepwise synthesis, selective modification, introduction of additional binding sites, and coupling with a second calixarene or other molecular entities will be carried out at Mainz, Cork, Parma and Twente. Molecular catalysis of calixarene complexes with cations and neutral molecules will be studied in Rome. Possible applications of the novel molecules in chemical systems will be investigated e.g. membranes, sensors.
Molecular mechanics and dynamics will be done at Parma and Twente.
