By reacting calix[4]arene 1,3-bi-hydrazide derivative (2) with formacylferrocene in "1 + 2" condensation mode, novel calix[4]arene derivative bearing two conjugated ferrocene groups (3) was obtained in yield of 88%. By reacting 1,3-bi-substituted [2-(p-formylphenyloxy)ethyloxy]-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (5) with 1,1'-diacetylferrocene hydrazone (4) in "1 + 1" condensation mode, novel calix[4]arene derivative with 1,3-substituted large conjugated ferrocene bridge (6) was synthesized in yield of 83%. The structures and conformations of new compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses, IR spectra, ESI-MS, H-1 NMR, etc. The electrochemical cyclic voltammetry experiments revealed that compounds 3 and 6 possessed excellent reversible electrochemical properties. The H-1 NMR titration study showed that compound 6 possessed excellent complexation abilities for NaH2PO4 and glycine in 1:1 host-guest complex with the association constants of 3,850 and 2,460 M-1, respectively.
