Calix[6]arene hexacarboxylic acid binds instantly and with low symmetry to Pb, Sr and Ba. Later a highly symmetric up-down alternating conformation emerges. The solution structures are identical to their p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene hexacarboxylic acid counterparts. With either receptor an octahedral cage is formed around the metal. The transformation from low to high symmetry however proceeds at significantly faster rates for the de-t-butylated host. ...[more]
