Abstract A series of calix[4]arene-bis-crownethers were synthesized in a fixed 1,3-alternateconformation with good yields by the reaction of amonocyclic calixcrown ether with multi-ethyleneglycoldi-p-toluenesulfonate in the presence of cesiumcarbonate. In the preparation of the monocycliccalixcrown ethers (1 and 2), the use ofpotassium carbonate as a base provided the best yieldregardless of the template concept. In two phaseextraction and competitive transport experiments forligand-metal complexation, calix[4]arene biscrown(5) provided the best selectivity for potassiumion. When a calixbiscrown ether (4) bearingdifferent sized crown ether loops coordinates to K+and Cs+, respectively, the changes of peak splittingpatterns and chemical shift on 1H NMR spectra aredependent on the complexed metal ion species.
