Controlling the interplay of large organic ions: para-sulfonato-calix[4]arene and phosphonium cations

Mohamed Makha, Yatimah Alias, Colin L. Raston and Alexandre N. Sobolev


Materials based on polyanionic para-sulfonato-calix[4]arene and tetraphenylphosphonium (Ph4P+) or benzyltriphenylphosphonium (BzPh3P+) cations are built up via partial inclusion and extensive phenyl embracing in association with trivalent cations (Yb3+, Gd3+ and Er3+). The crystalline materials have layered structures and feature negatively-charged channels propagating through the solids.
