Two new kinds of calix[4]arene derivatives, 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,
27-bis(isopropylcarbamoyl-methoxy)-26,28-diundecenyloxy calix[4]arene (C[4]
A) and 25,27-dibutoxy-5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-26,28-di-undecenyloxy cal
ix[4]arene (C[4]B), have been synthesized for use as stationary phases in c
apillary gas chromatography with OV1701. These stationary phases demonstrat
e high column efficiencies, wide operating temperature ranges, good thermal
stability and excellent selectivity for aromatic isomers, especially pheno
l compounds Their inclusion properties are also discussed.
