The crystalline sodium salt of calix[4]arene-sulfonate 1 consists of alternating organic and inorganic layers. Double layers of the basketlike pentaanions alternate with layers of sodium ions and water molecules; the similarity with the structures of clays is readily apparent. Acetone is bound in the cavity of 1, the O atom projecting into the hydrophilic layer (see right).

5 2 · 5 Na^⊕ · 12 H₂O: Synthesis was accomplished by reaction of the calix[4]arene 1, R = H, R′ = H, with H₂SO₄ at 60°C for 3 h. This was followed by neutralization with BaCO₃ and addition of Na₂CO₃ to pH 9. Large, colorless crystals of 2 · 5 Na^⊕ · 12H₂O were obtained by slow evaporation of the solution. The compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P⁻1 with a = 10.998(6), b = 13.582(5), c = 14.472(5) Å, α = 74.01(3), β = 89.09(4), γ = 86.50(4)°, Z = 2. Refinement based on 4727 observed reflections led to a conventional R value of 0.050 [15].

8 2 · 5 Na^⊕ · 8 H₂O: Colorless crystals of the compound were prepared by recrystallization of 2 · 5 Na^⊕ · 12H₂O from an acetone/water solution. The compound belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 11.05(4), b = 14.157(4), c = 27.162(7) Å, β = 97.47(3)°, Z = 4. Refinement based on 4724 observed reflections led to R = 0.054[15].

9 The acetone molecules are, in fact, complexed in aqueous solution by the calixarenes 2, as shown by ¹H NMR studies. In the ratio 2:1 2: acetone, the acetone methyl resonance is found as a broad singlet at δ = 0.7–0.8. This demonstrates that the methyl groups are well shielded in the vicinity of the aromatic rings. In the ratio 1:1, the signal is found at δ = 1.0, and in the ratio 1:4 the chemical shift of δ = 1.8 is near the uncomplexed value of δ = 2.05 for 2. The NMR experiments were performed at 19°C in D₂O on a Nicolet NT 200.
