47. The partial functionalization of the phenolic groups present on the lower rim of calix[4]arenes enhances the preorganization of these hosts in solution of low polar solvents. Unlike the tetralkylated ones, the aromatic cavity of mono- or dialkylated calix[4]arene derivatives has been indeed exploited as a binding site for the recognition of charged organic species.

52. A survey of the literature data shows that similar results were found in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles in a monophase system (solution in DMF) by using multithiolate β-cyclodextrins (CDs) as stabilizing agents. The reduced size of the resulting nanoparticles was ascribed to a "macrocyclic effect". See: J. Liu, W. Ong, A. E. Kaifer, C. Peinador, Langmuir 2002, 18, 5981-5983.

These findings could be also useful in explaining the improved stability and reduced core size of AuNPs coated with natural molecules such as glutathione that contain an oxygen atom other than a thiol group as surface stabilizing agent.
