title: Triptycene-derived calix[6]arenes: synthesis, structure and tubular assemblies in the solid state.
abstract: A couple of novel triptycene-derived calix[6]arenes with fixed conformations were synthesized, and shown to form tubular assemblies with aromatic rings as the walls and phenolic hydroxyl groups situated in the cavities, in the solid state.
