Sulfone-calixarenes: a new class of molecular building block

Abstract

The synthesis of a new calix[4]arene derivative based on the linkage of the phenolic rings by four sulfone groups was achieved and its 1,3-alternate conformation in the crystalline phase, resulting from both inter- and intra-molecular H-bonding, was established by crystallography.
