83. 12 system is 5.31. C4AS was employed in this system for the reason that in comparison with p -sulfonatocalix[5]arene and p -sulfonatothiacalix[4]arene, C4AS shows the more favorable enthalpy changes upon complexation with viologen under both acidic and neutral conditions. Moreover, the larger analogue, p -sulfonatocalix[6]arene, was also excluded because of its uncertain conformation and relatively weak binding ability.
