Abstract: The phosphorylated calyx[4]arenoid para- and meta-substituted cyclophane tetramers, which were synthesised in good yields starting from parent cyclic hydrocarbons, show a ‘saddle-shaped’ rigid conformation in solution, and the methylenephosphonic acid dialkyl ester groups are in a strategic position for complexation with neutral guests.
