Abstract:
After heat erases the order in 1,3-O,O'-bis(dodecyl)calix[4]arene, it self-organizes the phenyl units into a rigid calix bowl first at T2 = 111 degrees C, followed by the formation of all-trans alkyl chains at T1 = 62 degrees C, which eventually yields a stable cone-shaped structure at room temperature.
