A novel N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene complex bearing four palladium(II) centers per ligand has been prepared. Electrochemical synthetic methods were used to prepare the corresponding copper(I) complex, followed by transmetalation onto palladium(II). The activity of the palladium complex was probed in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-couplingreaction. An inverse correlation between palladium

The synthesis, photophysical, and anion-binding properties of a series of di-, tri-, and tetrapodal anion-binding hosts based on aminopyridinium units with pyrenyl reporter groups are described. The ditopic mesitylene-derived calix[4]arene-based host 4 binds strongly to dicarboxylates, particularly malonate, in a 2:1 anion:host ratio but is essentially nonemissive in the presence of all anions except chloride because of intramolecular quenching by the pyridinium units. Addition of chloride results in a conformational change, giving an initial increase in emission assigned to intramolecular excimer formation. Further chloride addition also results in an increase in the intensity of the pyrenyl monomer emission as chloride binding reduces the acceptor ability of the pyridinium groups. This behavior is not exhibited by control compounds 5 and 6, which lack the ditopic geometry and calixarene spacer unit; however, tripodal 6 forms 1:2 anion:host complexes with a range of anions.

Two types of calix[4]arene derived hosts for anions with, respectively, 1,3-alternate and cone conformations have been prepared; the 1,3-alternate system binds dicarboxylate anions in a ditopic manner while the cone compounds are deprotonated by carboxylates.

1,3-alternate calix[4]arene host binds anions as 1 : 2 complexes via a range of CH⋯anion hydrogen bonds. Allosteric enhancement of the affinity for the second chloride anion is observed. X-Ray crystal structures of the chloride, bromide and nitrate complexes suggest that this behaviour is linked to inter-binding site communication mediated by the calixarene framework. The imidazolium groups exist as
