The International Arbuzovs Prize in the field of organophosphorous chemistry

July 11, 1997, on the eve of the 120th anniversary of academician Alexander Е. Arbuzov, outstanding chemist, the Creator of a new branch of chemistry - chemistry of organophosphorus compounds, President of Tatarstan Mintimer Shaimiev signed a Decree on the establishment of the International Arbuzovs Prize in the field of organophosphorus chemistry.

Laboratory of calixarene chemistry

The Laboratory was established in 2000.

Corresponding Member of RAS Igor S. Antipin is the

head of the Laboratory since its foundation.

Main research activity

The development of methods for stereo- and chemoselective modification of (thia)calix[4]arene platform including the application of click-chemistry approaches. A series of extractants, based on lipophilic stereoisomers of tetrasubstituted by the lower rim (thia)calix[4]arenes derivatives, capable of effectively and selectively extract the high-dangerous radionuclide Tc (VII) was synthesized.
Synthesis of nanosized molecules with receptor and (or) amphiphilic properties. The first examples of a new class of nanosized macrocyclic compounds – conjugates of (thia)calix[4]arenes and clathrochelates – are obtained. Calixresorcinarene macrocycles forming a continuous phase of thermoreversible gel in neutral aqueous solutions at low concentrations were designed. One molecule of the gelator immobilizes up to 10000 water molecules.
Construction of supramolecular systems and machines.Supramolecular system based on host-guest complexes of water-soluble calix[4]resorcinarene in which photo induced electron transfer controlled by the pH of the medium was elaborated.
Design of metal-organic structures (MOF"s). The unique metal-organic framework (MOF"s) formed by decanuclear clusters of silver ions was obtained by supramolecular self-assembly method.
