Chapter 8 - The Varied Supramolecular Chemistry of Pyrogallol[4]arenes
Organic Nanoreactors From Molecular to Supramolecular Organic Compounds
(2016)
Abstract
Pyrogallol[4]arenes are cyclic tetramers formed from pyrogallol (1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene) and aldehydes. They are relatives of the more extensively studied calix[4]arenes and of resorcinarenes. This chapter describes studies of long-chain and branched-chain pyrogallol[4]arenes that form capsular or tubular structures and that are active in membranes as pore formers and that could potentially have applications as nanoreactors.
