The recognition of neutral aromatic substrates by different neutral calix[4]arene receptors 1, 2, and 3 was studied by NMR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry is 1:1 in all cases as was confirmed by jobs plot. Owing to the deep cavity, 1 affords stronger binding abilities for substrate 4 and 5, while all receptors remained inert for substrates 6 and 7. The binding constants determined by $^1H$ NMR titration show that the recognition of substrate 4 by 1 gives strongest complexation ($K_a;of;9.8;{ imes};102;M^{-1}$).
