The aggregation behavior of carbazoylmethyl derivatives of pyrogallol and calix[4]pyrogallol was studied by conductometry and dynamic light scattering in water-DMF media. The for mation of mixed nanoaggregates in the presence of cationic surfactants was revealed. The effect of structural preorganization of these compounds on their reactivity in the acylation by 4 nitrophenylacetate and the catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of phosphorus acid esters was studied.
