The interaction of triplet excited C60 with p-tert-butyl-calix[n]arenes (BCXn, n = 4, 6 or 8) and with their 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (TMP) and pyridine complexes has been studied with laser flash photolysis experiments. It has been found that in polar solvents 3C60 is quenched by BCX6 via electron transfer, producing C60-? radical anion with a yield of 0.45 ± 0.07 in benzonitrile. In contrast, no reaction occurs in nonpolar media or with BCX4 and BCX8. Upon the addition of TMP, the rate of quenching is enhanced considerably due to the formation of TMP-BCXn complexes. The significant deuterium isotope effect indicates that the electron movement from the calixarene to the triplet excited C60 is coupled to the proton displacement from the calixarene to the base. In the presence of pyridine, which has weaker hydrogen-bonding power, the enrichment of the solvate shell in the proton acceptor molecules may play an important role in promoting triplet C60 quenching.

Ferrocenium salts mediate high yielding one-pot and convergent syntheses of para-tert-butylcalixarenes in mild non-Lewis or Bronsted acidic reaction conditions; EPR indicates complex formation between the s-trioxane and the ferrocenium salt. The Royal Soc
Acid-catalyzed formation of hexahomooxacalix[3]arenes

The role of acid catalysis in oxacalix[3]arene synthesis has been investigated. A range of acids were used to optimize the yield of tert-butyloxacalix[3]arene, the most efficient being p-toluenesulfonic acid, which, with local symmetry complementary with that of the lower rim of the calixarene, provides a templating effect.
