Evaluating the Effect of Resorcin[4]Arenes Conformational Structures on the Remediation of Methylene Blue in Water.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the effects of resorcin[4]arenes/cavitand structural properties: (i) hydrophobicity, aliphatic alkyl tails elongation (methyl, propyl, hexyl, and nonyl) based on macrocycles 1-4 lower rims; (ii) H-bond and dipole-dipole importance, resorcin[4]arene 4 vs its rigid core structure cavitand 5; and (iii) cavity order/disorder, crown (C _4v) 4 vs chair (C _2h) 6 isomers on the remediation of methylene blue (MB) in water have been investigated. Additionally, the adsorption kinetics/isotherms of MB by octols 1-4 were studied, indicating that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second order and Langmuir models, respectively. Notably, the longest alkylated crown (C _4V) conformer 4
