Synthesis of a novel organogel based on thiacalix[4]arene

Acryloyl p-tert-Butyl thiacalix[4]arene (ATCA) was synthesized via functionalization of p-tert-Butyl thiacalix[4]arene (TCA). Organogels based on Dodecyl methacrylate (DMA) and ATCA were prepared by solution copolymerization in toluene. Divinyl benzene (DVB) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) were used as crosslinker and initiator, respectively. The obtained gels exhibited high capacity for absorbing and retaining a variety of organic solvents. Characterization of ATCA monomer was performed using, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Mechanical properties of these copolymers (ATCA-DMA) were also studied using rheometer. The characterizations showed that storage modulus of the copolymer were increased with increasing of the ATCA in the gel
