“…Extension of phenols to naphthols may create a macrocycle with a wider or deeper cavity, promising for rich host–guest chemistry. The research along this direction (Figure b) has been extensively explored by Poh, Georghiou, Böhmer, and Glass . In analogy to calixarene, this class of macrocycles was termed as calixnaphthalenes by Georghiou .…”

Although some host–guest chemistry was demonstrated, calixnaphthalenes generally show poor binding ability when compared to other macrocycles.…”

In this research, we report the regioselective synthesis of methylene-bridged naphthalene oligomers from 2,6-dialkoxyl naphthanene and paraformaldehyde by using p-TsOH as the catalyst and CHCl as the solvent. The structures were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Their host-guest chemistry with organic cations was studied, and optimal naphthalene numbers in the oligomers were revealed for different guests. In addition, the reason for the unsuccessful synthesis of methylene-bridged naphthalene macrocycles was discussed.
