title: Synthesis and fluorescence enhancement of oligophenylene-substituted calix[4]arene assemblies.
abstract: Tetra-oligophenylene substituted calix[4]arene assemblies containing up to three phenylene units have been synthesized by a convergent approach using Suzuki cross-coupling and their optical properties were investigated and compared with the corresponding monomer.
