Graphical Abstract

An amphiphilic calix[6]arene host effectively binds to ferrocenyl groups covalently attached to a self-assembled monolayer on gold. Electrochemical evidence indicates that the calixarene binds the protruding ferrocenyl groups by including them in its lipophilic end (schematic representation below).

In solution at pH 7 calixarene 2 is an octaanion owing to the deprotonation of two of its six phenolic OH groups. In the acidic media utilized in this work all the phenolic OH groups are protonated and both calixarene hosts (compounds 2 and 3) are likely to be present as hexaanions.
