Enhanced binding of methyl alkylammonium cations through preorganization of a water-soluble calix[4]pyrrole

We describe the synthesis of two tetra-α aryl-extended calix[4]pyrroles (C[4]Ps) 4a–b bearing four terminal carboxylic groups in their meso-propyl chains defining the lower rims. The synthesized C[4]Ps became soluble (1–3 mM) in water at pD = 10. We probed the interaction of 4a towards tetra-methyla...
