A Combined Solution and Solid-State Study on the Tautomerism of an Azocalix[4]arene Chromoionophore

Azocalixarenes functionalized with cation binding sites are popular chromoionophores due to the ease of synthesis and the large complexation-induced shifts of their absorption band that originate from an azo-phenol–quinone-hydrazone tautomerism. Despite their extensive use, however, a thorough inves...
