Abstract Calixarenes are a class of macrocycles or cyclic oligomers possessing a cavity capable of accepting a guest molecule. Calix[4]arene derivatives adopt one of four conformations such as cone, patial cone, 1,3-alternative, and 1,2-alternative conformations owing to the rigid aromatic core of calix[4]arene. However, calix[6]arene derivatives cannot be determined their conformations because of their flexible conformations caused by the large ring size which can allow larger guests to be accepted. We have employed calix[6]arene hexaacetic acid (H6CHA) to explore its conformation change caused by the accommodation of guest molecules. When cyclohexane-1,4-diamine as a guest was added into the methanol solution of H6CHA, cyclohexane-1,4-diamonium dication, obtained by acid-base reaction between H6CHA and the guest diamine, is accommodated into the ring cavity of the CHA6- through C―H…π interactions. Moreover, the conformation of CHA6- changes into 1,3,5-alternative form. On the other hand, cyclohexylammonium cations obtained by the addition of cyclohexylamine as a guest are not accommodated in the cavity of CHA6-. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of the 1,3,5-alternative calix[6]arene hexaacetate accommodating cyclohexane-1,4-diammonium dication as well as the conformational change of calix[6]arene carboxylate derivative caused by the guest species.
