    Abstract

    The water-soluble calix[4]arene bearing p-substituted phosphonic acid groups is accessible in five steps in overall 62 % yield, with the hydrogen-bonding prowess of the acidic groups dominating its self-assembly processes. These include the formation of 3.0(3) nm and 20(2) nm nanorafts of the calixarene in water using spinning disc processing, stabilized by acetonitrile, and nanorafts in the gas phase (
