Designer amphiphiles based on para-acyl-calix[8]arenes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The synthesis of a series of fully O-derivatised para-acyl-calix[8]arenes is described, where the acyl function is either octanoyl or hexadecanoyl. The groups attached at the phenolic face are, carboxymethoxy (anionic), carboxypropoxy (anionic), 4-sulfonatobutoxy (anionic), ethoxycarboxymethoxy (neutral), ethoxycarboxypropoxy (neutral), 2-methoxyethoxy (neutral) and 2-(2-methoxy)diethoxy (neutral). The use of specific synthetic routes has allowed complete substitution in high yields for all the compounds obtained. The interfacial properties of the compounds have been studied and stable monolayers have been obtained for certain compounds in the series having para-octanoyl substituents; all compounds studied in the series having para-hexadecanoyl substituents formed stable monolayers at the air-water interface. The interactions between O-4-sulfonatobutoxy-para-ocatanoylcalix[8]arene and a series of serum albumins have been studied by dynamic light scattering and specific adsorption of the calix-[8]-arene derivative onto the proteins observed. The anionic derivatives O-4-sulfonatobutoxy-para-ocatanoylcalix[8]arene and O-carboxymethoxy-para-ocatanoylcalix[8]arene have been shown to possess anticoagulant properties but to have no haemolytic toxicity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
