We report the synthesis of a new water-soluble iminecalix[4]arene host 4c with a deep hydrophobic cavity. The negatively charged four carboxylate functions on the top of the cavity play a major role in the recognition of charged molecular species. The H-1 NMR titration experiments revealed that host 4c binds with cationic (10-12) and neutral guests (6-9) in water with high binding constants in the order of 10(4)-10(5) M-1. Cationic guest 9 showed highest binding constant of 2.81 x 10(5) M-1 with host 4c amongst all tested guests. Selectivity over anionic guests (13-17) is established by the presence of negative charges at the top of the deep hydrophobic cavity, as guests 15 and 17 were not recognized by host 4c. Neutral pyridine derivatives with hydrophobic chains at para positions showed high binding constants of 6.02 x 10(4)-2.23 x 10(5) M-1. The data obtained for the recognition of the guests by host 4c revealed that the ionic as well as the hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions are Crucial in the molecular recognition in aqueous medium.
