p-Carboxylatocalix[n]arenes have emerged as useful building blocks for the construction of a diverse range of supramolecular assemblies. A convenient route to a p-carboxylatocalix[4]arene that is locked in a partial-cone conformation is presented. Finally, the conformation gives the molecule markedly different topological directionality relative to those previously used in self- and metal-directed assembly studies.
