Popis: Calix[4]arene molecules containing two and four silicon atoms appended to the upper rim of the cone conformation were synthesized via hydrosilation of the corresponding di- and tetra-p-allyl calixarene ethers. The p-allyl calixarene ethers were prepared via the well known Claisen rearrangement which transferred the allyl groups originally on the lower rim of the cone to the upper rim. The silated calix[4]arenes were designed to function as ditopic receptor molecules that will bind cations through the oxygen atoms at the lower rim and anions through the silicon atoms on the upper rim. The hydrosilation reaction provided an easy method for introducing different functionality on the silicon atoms in order to attenuate their relative stability and Lewis acidity.
