For lower rim unsubstituted calix[4]arenes, such as 3 and 4, four main conformations can exist: (1) a cone, with the phenyl groups all syn to one another; (2) a partial cone, with three phenyl groups syn and one anti; (3) a 1,2-alternate, with adjacent pairs of phenyl groups syn and anti; and (4) a 1,3-alternate, with nonadjacent pairs of phenyl groups syn and anti. These four possible conformers, with calix[4]arenes 3 and 4 used as examples, are depicted in Chart S1 in the supplemental material.

49. Caution: Our current procedure uses THF to solubilize the starting material. Because at 120°C a reasonable pressure develops inside the sealed tube (up to 6 atm), considerable care should be taken while the reaction is run, and only appropriate glassware and seals should be used; otherwise, human injury may result. Pressure-rated reaction vials (up to 35 atm) with PTFE-silicon caps were used for this experiment.
50. Similar results were obtained under microwave irradiation [initial power = 250 W (variable); fixed temperature = 80, 100, or 120°C; time = 10-45 min] with a monomode microwave reactor. Full details of these experiments will be reported elsewhere.

66. During the progress of this work, and before this treatment was implemented, it was realized that the polymerization of 1 afforded variable amounts of oligomeric-dimeric fractions that were dependent on the starting monomer batches. As a result, no reproducible interbatch results were sometimes obtained, and this precluded, in turn, any useful comparison between different polymerization systems. Because calix[4]arene 1 was synthesized through procedures that involved the use of Cu and Pd metals, random amounts of these metals in the polymerization mixture would certainly explain the aforementioned results.
67. This purification procedure is currently applied during the workup of the Sonogashira reaction.

73. The purity improvement of poly 2 with the dissolution/ precipitation technique was, under the conditions tested, negligible. For that reason, the analyses reported here refer to crude poly 2.
