Abstract: The conformation of spirobiscalix [4] arene-crown-3 in solution is studied by NMR. Chemical shift assignments of 1H and 13C indicate that this molecule takes the cone conformation at room temperature. Using the data of 2D NOESY spectra the distances between the protons are estimated by the isolated spin pair approximation through molecular modeling calculations. Exchange rates between the hydroxyl protons and the trace water in the solvent are also evaluated.

Key words: Spirobiscalix [4] arene-crown-3, NMR spectra, Chemical exchange
