ABSTRACT
A couple of stabilized calix[6]cryptand steroisomers were synthesized by capping 1,3,5-trimethoxy-p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene with 1,1,1-tri(tosyloxyethoxyethoxymethyl)-propane and used as stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography. Their chromatographic characteristics and separation mechanism for aromatic positional isomers and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are discussed.
