以呋喃和四氢吡喃酮为原料, 在硫酸催化作用下进行缩合反应, 得到杯[4]呋喃大环化合物C4TP和少量杯[6]呋喃大环化合物C6TP. 采用核磁、质谱等分析测试手段对大环进行了表征, 并通过X射线单晶衍射技术测定了大环C4TPC6TP的晶体结构. 研究发现, 杯呋喃大环C4TP可与酸类化合物发生相互作用而变色, 并通过紫外-可见吸收光谱对大环主体C4TP与系列酸客体的相互作用进行了系统研究. 结果表明, 大环C4TP与不同酸相互作用, 可在可见光区产生新的吸收带而表现出不同颜色, 尤其与甲磺酸(MSA)相互作用时, 可在300~700 nm较宽范围产生吸收而显示绿色. 之后研究了相互作用时间以及加入不同物质的量MSA对可见吸收光谱的影响, 结果显示, 大环分子C4TP与MSA相互作用48 h后, 体系达到稳定状态, 物质的量比为1∶2000时, 相互作用可达到较高强度. 本研究为探索杯呋喃大环与酸类化合物主客体相互作用提供了新的模型和思路.

Calixarene derivatives are widely used in the fields of supramolecular chemistry, coordination chemistry, self-assembly chemistry, optoelectronic materials, and so on. The extensive development of calixarene studies has fostered growing interest in exploring the chemistry of heterocalixarenes, particularly while the aryl units of calixarenes are replaced by heterocycles. Calixfurans, also known as tetraoxaporphyrinogens, represent a significant class of heterocalixarenes. Here, we present a novel class of calixfuran macrocycles and study their interactions with acid compounds. Under catalysis by sulfuric acid, furan and tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-one were condensed to obtain calix[4]furan macrocyclic compound C4TP and calix[6]furan macrocyclic compound C6TP. The macrocycles were characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), and mass spectrometry, specifically, the structure of C4TP and C6TP were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal of C4TP was cuboidal, colorless with smooth surface, good light transmittance, and triclinic system, space group name was P-1. According to the single crystal structure, the molecular skeleton showed a tetragonal cup structure with mirror symmetry. The four furan rings were enclosed like four walls, and tetrahydropyranes were located at the four corners through spiral-conjugate interactions. It was found that the solvents of macrocycle C4TP could change color after interacting with acid compounds. The interactions between the macrocycle host C4TP and a series of acid guests were systematically studied by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. The results indicated that the solvents of macrocycle C4TP and different acids presented new absorption bands in the visible light region, exhibiting different colors. Particularly, when macrocycle C4TP was mixed with methanesulfonic acid (MSA), it appeared a wide range absorption over 300~700 nm and displayed green color. Subsequently, we investigated the effects of interaction time and different equivalents of MSA on the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra. The results figured out that the interaction between the macrocycle C4TP and MSA essentially reached a stable state after 48 h, and achieved a high intensity at a molar ratio of 1∶2000. This study provides a new model and insight into the research of host-guest interactions of calixfuran macrocycles with acid.
