Abstract
A new water soluble host molecule, thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (TCAS), was obtained by direct sulfonation of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene. TCAS showed size- and shape-selectivity to bind small chlorinated organic molecules in its hydrophobic cavity by a 1:1 or 1:2 manner in aqueous solution.
