Versatile assembly of p-carboxylatocalix[4]arene-O-alkyl ethers

Stuart Kennedy, Simon J. Teat and Scott J. Dalgarno

Crystallisation of lower-rim tetra-O-alkylated p-carboxylatocalix[4]arenes from pyridine results in the formation of both bi-layer and pillar type supramolecular motifs. Full alkylation at the calixarene lower rim has significant influence over the supramolecular self-assembly motif, including preclusion of pyridine guest molecules from the calixarene cavity in the solid state.
