Scheme S1. Synthesis of cation receptor 5 S2

All solvents and chemicals used were purchased from Aldrich, TCI, and Acros and used without further purification. Compound 6 was prepared as reported previously. 1 NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian Mercury 400 instrument. The NMR spectra were referenced to solvent and the spectroscopic solvents were purchased from either Cambridge Isotope Laboratories or Aldrich. Chemical ionization (CI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra were recorded on a VG ZAB-2E instrument and a VG AutoSpec apparatus, respectively. TLC analyses were carried out using Sorbent Technologies silica gel (200 mm) sheets. Column chromatography was performed on Sorbent silica gel 60 (40 63 mm). For microcalorimetric titrations, a MicroCal VP-ITC instrument was employed. Compound 7 Calix[4]arene (4.66 g, 11.0 mmol), compound 6 1 (7.35 g, 22.0 mmol) and K 2 CO 3 (1.59 g, 11.5 mmol) were mixed in 125 ml of acetonitrile and then heated at reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere for 24 hrs. After allowing the reaction mixture to cool to RT, the acetonitrile was removed in vacuo. To the resulting white solid, CH 2 Cl 2 (100 ml) and water (100 ml) were added, and the organic layer was separated off and washed three times with 100 ml of water. The organic layer was then dried over anhydrous MgSO 4 and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give a white solid. Recrystallization from a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (1/9), following column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane (1/3)), gave 3.63 g (44% yield) of 6 as a white solid. 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 7.93 (d, 4H, ArH, J = 8.81 Hz), 7.89 (s, 2H, ArOH), 7.06 (d, 4H, ArH, J = 7.61 Hz), 6.95-6.92 (m, 6H, ArH), 6.78 (t, 2H, ArH, J = 7.61 Hz), 6.66 (t, 2H, ArH, J = 7.61 Hz), 4.39 (d, 4H, ArCH 2 Ar, J = 12.8 Hz), 4.30 (s, 8H, ArOCH 2 CH 2 OAr, J = 5.60), 3.38 (d, 4H, ArCH 2 Ar, J = 12.8 Hz), 2.57 (s, 6H, ArCOCH 3 ). 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 197.2, 162.6, 153.3, 151.7, 133.7, 130.9, 130.8, 129.3, 128.7, S3

Compound 5 Compound 7 (0.1 g, 0.13 mmol), tetraethylene glycol ditosylate (0.07 g, 0.13 mmol) and Cs 2 CO 3 (0.13 g, 0.40 mmol) were dissolved in 30 ml of acetonitrile under a nitrogen atmosphere. After heating at reflux for 12 hours and then allowing to cool, the acetonitrile was removed in vacuo. To the resulting white solid, CH 2 Cl 2 (50 ml) and 5% aqueous HCl (100 ml) were added. The organic layer was separated off and washed three times with 50 ml of water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO 4 and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give a white solid. Column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: methylene chloride/methanol (9/1)), followed by recrystallization from methanol, gave 0.03 g (23% yield) of 5 as a white solid. 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 7.82 (d, 4H, ArH, J = 8.41 Hz), 7.14 (d, 4H, ArH, J = 7.61 Hz), 7.07 (d, 4H, ArH, J = 7.61 Hz), 6.93 (t, 2H, ArH, J = 7.61 Hz), 6.80-7.74 (m, 6H, ArH), 3.91 (s, 8H, ArCH 2 Ar), 3.62-3.58 (m, 12H, OCH 2 CH 2 O), 3.52 (t, 4H, OCH 2 CH 2 O, J = 5.20 Hz), 3.47 (t, 4H, OCH 2 CH 2 O, J = 6.80 Hz), 3.16 (t, 4H, OCH 2 CH 2 O, J = 6.40 Hz), 2.51 (s, 6H, ArCOCH 3 ). 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 196.9, 162.7, 156.7, 156.1, 134.6, 134.2, 130.8, 130.5, 129.8, 129.6, 123.3, 122.9, 114.2, 73.1, 71.0, 70.0, 68.6, 68.2, 66.9, 38.3, 26.5.

X-ray Experimental for 1 KF (CH 3 OH) 3 Crystals were grown as colorless prism by slow evaporation from a mixture of chloroform and methanol. The data were collected on a Rigaku R-Axis Spider diffractometer with an image plate detector using a graphite monochromator with CuKα radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å). A total of 144 images of data were collected using ω-scans with a scan range of 5 and a counting time of 360 seconds per image. The data were collected at 100 K using a Rigaku XStream low temperature device. Details of crystal data, data collection and structure refinement are listed in Table S3. Data reduction were performed using the Rigaku Americas Corporation s Crystal Clear version 1.40. 5 The structure was solved by direct methods using SIR97 6 and refined by full-matrix least-squares on F 2 with anisotropic displacement parameters for the non- H atoms using SHELXL-97. 7 The hydrogen atoms were calculated in ideal positions with isotropic displacement parameters set to 1.2 Ueq of the attached atom (1.5 Ueq for methyl hydrogen atoms). The function, Σw( F o 2 - F c 2 ) 2, was minimized, where w = 1/[(σ(F o )) 2 + (0.0654*P) 2 + (15.2478*P)] and P = ( F o 2 + 2 F c 2 )/3. R w (F 2 ) refined to 0.278, with R(F) equal to 0.140 and a goodness of fit, S, = 1.20. Definitions used for calculating R(F), R w (F 2 ) and the goodness of fit, S, are given below. 8 The data were checked for secondary extinction effects but no correction was necessary. Neutral atom scattering factors and values used to calculate the linear absorption coefficient are from the International Tables for X-ray Crystallography (1992). 9 All figures were generated using SHELXTL/PC. 10 Further details of this structure may be obtained by consulting the relevant.cif file uploaded separately.
