An imidazolium-functionalized self-assembling calix[4]pyrrole†
Abstract
A calixpyrrole bearing a tethered imidazolium functional group was prepared in the form of its bromide salt. This compound was found to undergo self-assembly to produce supramolecular polymers, wherein both the bromide anion and the imidazolium cation are bound to the calixpyrrole core.
