Abstract: Treating conic tetra-para-ethylacetato-calix[4]arene (1) with 2.2 equivalents of K2CO3 and 4 equivalents of 6-bromomethyl-6′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine affords the expected fully substituted podand, mainly in its 1,3-alternate conformation (2). This tube-like bipyridyl derivative 2 was subjected to complexation studies with CoCl2·6H2O to give a blue tetra cobalt(II) complex species (3). This complex displays a unique group of 6 aromatic bipyridyl 1H-NMR resonance signals demonstrating its high symmetry, while X-ray diffraction studies showed the presence of 3 expected tetrahedral bpy(CoCl2) units and 1 original trigonal bipyramidal unit involving the adjunction of a fifth ligand assumed to be H2O that could participate in the crystal scaffold.
