title: Changing the volume of a giant macrocycle: the swelling of the macrocycle with organic solvents.
abstract: The novel tetrahedral macrocycles 1a-1c have been synthesized. Macrocycles 1a and 1c were revealed to have the property to increase in volume in solution by complexation between the macrocycle and the solvent molecules.
