Abstract
Water-soluble resorcin[4]arene based cavitands were obtained in good y ields by reaction of bromomethylcavitands with pyridine. Their solubil ity was determined by conductometry. The behaviour in water depends on the alkyl chain length; the methylcavitand does not aggregate, wherea s the pentyl- and undecylcavitands do, as was shown by H-1 NMR spectro scopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy.
