Abstract
The synthesis of a receptor possessing two divergent hydrophobic cavit ies was achieved by fusing two p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene units in cone conformation using silicon atoms. Crystal structure analysis and NMR studies proved the centrosymetric nature of the compound with a 3.75 a ngstrom distance between the two tetra-coordinated silicon atoms.
