Abstract

p- Phenylcalix[4] arene is formed directly from p- phenylphenol in 66% yield (50% isolated yield) using poly( ethylene glycol) as the reaction medium, with crystallization of the pure cavitand from toluene mediated by p- carborane. The solid-state structure comprises interlocking columnar arrays.
