Bio-Inspired Calix[4]arene Additives for Crystal Growth Modification of Inorganic Materials

Crystal growth of inorganic materials, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate and calcium oxalate, was studied in the presence of calix[4]arene additives functionalized with aspartic or glutamic acids at the lower rim. The additives were synthesized by reaction of the appropriate amino acid ester with 5...
