Abstract
AbstractHeteroditopic calix[6]arenes are widely employed macrocycles for the synthesis of pseudo‐oriented interlocked systems and stimuli‐induced molecular machines, among others. Herein, we introduce a new calix[6]arene receptor functionalised with three phenylselenoureido groups. These hydrogen‐bonding donor moieties are able to promote the threading of viologen‐based organic axles inside the macrocyclic cavity to form a stable pseudorotaxane species. Preliminary investigations using 1H‐NMR measurements and semi‐empirical and DFT studies suggested its further use as a platform for the synthesis of rotaxanes.
