Abstract
An arm modification strategy, by replacing relatively rigid, electron-deficient side arms with flexible ether chain arms and linking them onto a tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine skeleton, was utilized to design an artificial molecular hourglass. The planar bilayer experiments confirmed the unimolecular channel mechanism and suggested reversed ion selectivity from the previously reported anion selectivity to weak cation selectivity.
