Abstract
Molecular receptors for organic molecules are described in which calix[4]arene is used as a molecular platform rather than for its cavity. This is illustrated by the synthesis of a receptor for barbiturates, a calix[4]arene in a cone conformation containing two diaminotriazine moieties at the upper rim. This receptor (9) forms a molecular cleft in which phenobarbital complexes by hydrogen bonding both triazine rings. The association constant K is 520 M ^1^, when the selfโassociation of the barbiturate is taken into account.

Hydrosoluble Calix[4] arenes-bis-crown-6 2a, 3a and 3b have been synthesised in two steps via formylation and chlorosulfonylation of 1. Cs +-Ligand interactions were studied in aqueous media by UV-Visible analysis and showed a good affinity between receptor 2a and the caesium ion.
