Inclusion networks of a calix[5]arene-based exoditopic receptor and long-chain alkyldiammonium ions.
[structure: see text]. Tail-to-tail connection of two cone calix[5]arene moieties by a rigid p-xylyl spacer affords the new exoditopic receptor 3 featuring two pi-rich cavities (assembling cores) in a centrosymmetric divergent arrangement, as established by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. 1H NMR complexation studies of 3 with alkyldiammonium ions support the formation of discrete bis-endo-cavity complexes and/or capsular assemblies along a polymer chain (polycaps), according to the length of the connector.

Multipoint molecular recognition of amino acids and biogenic amines by ureidocalix[5]arene receptors.
[reaction: see text] p-tert-Butylcalix[5]arenes in a fixed cone conformation, endowed with a urea functionality at the upper rim, behave as remarkably efficient abiotic receptors of omega-amino acids and biogenic amines, which are bound with one end of the chain within the pi-basic cavity (primary recognition site) and the other grasped by the secondary hydrogen bonding donor/acceptor binding site.

Calix[4]- and calix[5]arene-based multicavity macrocycles.
Synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structures of mixed triple and double calixarenes 6 and 7, obtained from the base-catalyzed condensation of calix[5]arene 1 with cone pertosylated calix[4]arene 2, are reported. VT-NMR studies on 7 are consistent with a molecular motion arising from the anti-gauche conformational interconversion of its ethylene linkages.
