Water-soluble tetrasulfonate resorcin[4]arene ( 1a and 1c ) and pyrogallol[4]arene ( 1b ) macrocycles were synthesized and investigated for their dispersing properties in cement-based mortars. Mortar tests clearly show that these polyhydroxylated macrocycles (nonpolymeric) work as cement dispersants. Setting time determinations indicate that the macrocycles 1a and 1b show a retarding effect that is reminiscent of the behavior of superplasticizers (SPs) functionalized with polyhydroxylated β-CDs. Finally, the addition of sulfate anions to the cement paste does not affect the dispersing abilities of 1b , probably due to the sulfate anion capture by H-bonding interactions with its OH groups at the upper rim.
