Abstract

Conformationally rigid, bowl-shaped molecules are an important class of receptors in supramolecular chemistry 1 due to their abilities to encapsulate and stabilize guest molecules, and to catalyze chemical transformations within their 'microreactor' cage. 2 However, most of the interests were focused on the construction of calixarene and resorcin[4]arene cavitands with enforced cavities large enough to complex with complementary organic compounds or ions, 3 and on the ...
