Electrochemical behavior of dibutyl methyl ester p-tert-butyl calix [4] arene

Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of dibutyl methyl ester p-tert-butylcalix [4] arene compound 1 was studied by cyclic voltammetry. At25°C and scan rate of 20 mVs−1. The anodic peak is affected by scanrate, concentration and temperature is a totally irreversible process.The result shows that there is an irreversible electrochemicaloxidative wave when the potential is more 1.3 V versus Ag/AgCl inan acetonitrile.
