Nitrothiacalixarenes with alkyl groups at the lower rim: design, synthesis and aggregation behaviour at the air–water interface and in solution

Abstract

© 2017 Di-n-octylated tetranitrothiacalix[4]arene, a new multidipolar D-π-A chromophore has been synthesized and the dependence of its aggregation in solution and at the air–water interface on the concentration of solution and spreading solvent has been evaluated.
