Novel amphiphilic conjugates of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene with 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid in 1,3-alternate stereoisomeric form. Synthesis and chromatic properties in the presence of metal ions

Functional polydiacetylene vesicles based on thiacalix[4]arene–10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid conjugates showed selective colorimetric response toward lanthanide ions.

“Clickable” thiacalix[4]arene derivatives bearing polymerizable 1,3-butadiyne fragments: synthesis and incorporation into polydiacetylene vesicles

Thiacalix[4]arene-functionalized polydiacetylene (PDA) vesicles showed selective colorimetric response toward several lanthanide ions. This approach can be a good basis for lanthanide express analysis.
