Popis: Resorcinarene-based cavitands functionalized with acetamido groups capable of self-complementary hydrogen-bond interactions, were synthesized in order to construct supramolecular capsules. The 1,3-bifunctionalized cavitand produced a polymeric assembly, whereas the tetra-functionalized analogue yielded a discrete capsule held together via N-H···O hydrogen bonds. The ethynyl species attached to the rim of these host molecules deepen each cavitand and expands the volume of the resulting capsule.
