The Use of Calixarene Nanofibers as an HPLC Column Filler

The third generation molecule of supramolecule chemistry, the calixarenes, is superior to the first and second generation molecules, Tac Ethers and Cyclodextrins, due to their ability to be obtained in greater quantities in higher purity and easier to function. The fact that the calixarenne compounds are important in the host-guest chemistry, and that they are ring structures, can carry molecules, anions or cations with advantages such as the absence of molecules [1-3]. In this work, the p-tert-butylcalix[4] arene diester compound was reacted with benzylamine. The structure of the p-tert-butylcalix[4] arene benzylamide molecule obtained as a result of the reaction was elucidated by H-1-NMR and then electrospun nanofibers were used as an HPLC column filler.
