Abstract

In this article, calix[4]arene (4) was prepared by debutylation and hydrolyses reacting from 25,27-dibenzoyl-26,28-dihydroxy-5,11,17,23-tetra(tert-butyl)calix[4]arene (2). Azocalix[4]arenes (6a-c) were coupled by linking 4-methoxy, 4-ethyl, and 4-nitroaniline to calix[4]arene (4) through a diazo-coupling reaction. Thermal behavior characteristics and decomposition routes of 25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy-11,23-di(tert-butyl)-5,17-(p-substitue phenyl)azocalix[4]arene (6a-c) were investigated in air atmosphere by means of thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermogravimetry (DTG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) analyses. It was found that the decomposition of all compounds complete with two exothermic stages which corresponded to removal of substitute groups (methoxy-, ethyl-, nitro-) and second stage rest of structure decomposition.
