This paper describes the recent study and developments of some functional resorcinarene compounds.

Even if attracted much attention and achieved some important progress, the application of functional resorcinarenes .

In this work, we aim to perform systematical investigation on the formation mechanism of resorcinarene-based self-assemblies in water and present a simple approach for the fabrication of resorcinarene-stablized nanoparticles.

The Study of Calix[4]resorcinarene Polynuclear Metal Complexes;

Four novel calix[4]resorcinarene-based amide derivatives containing eight or twelve terminal phenylthiourea groups were smoothly synthesized in three steps from the corresponding calix[4]- resorcinarenes in good yields.

Four novel calix[4]resorcinarene core arborols 2a～2d bearing sufficient hydroxyl groups to impart the desired water solubility were conveniently synthesized by the reaction of calix[4]resorcinarene esters 1a～1b with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine respectively.
