36. For a simple tmpa ligand, three successive protonation constants have been reported: K = 2.7, 4.5 and 6.3. Hence, if the calix-tmpa ligand were to present the same basic properties, it should easily undergo polyprotonation in a strong acidic medium. See: J. C. Mareque-Rivas, R. Prabaharan, R. Torres Martin de Rosales, Chem. Commun. 2004, 76-77.
