A new calix[4]pyrrole-based macrocycle, meso-tetra(methyloctyl)calix[4]pyrrole (MTP), has been synthesized and fully characterized. Thin films of MTP have been transferred onto hydrophobized quartz and silicon oxide sheets by using the Langmuir–Schäfer (LS) method (horizontal lifting). Scanning force microscopy (SFM) investigation showed that the LS films are almost homogeneous and are consistent with
