Abstract

Interaction of [Sc(OR)3] (R = iPr or triflate) withp-tert-butylcalix[n]arenes, wheren= 4, 6, or 8, affords a number of intriguing structural motifs, which are relatively non-toxic (cytotoxicity evaluated against cell lines HCT116 and HT-29) and a number were capable of the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclohexene oxide.
