title: Calix[4]arene-cholic acid conjugates: a new class of efficient synthetic ionophores.
abstract: The synthesis of a new class of amphiphilic calix[4]arene-based ionophores, relying on direct reductive amination as a key step, and the evaluation of their H+ and Na+ transporting properties is described.
