A new water-soluble resorcin [4]arene derivative 4 was synthesized and the complexation of cationic guests in D 2 O was studied by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. A 1:1 binding mode was elucidated by a Job's plot. The cooperative effect of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions acts as a binding force for
