A novel class of two atom bridged metacyclophanes-[2(4)]thiacalix[2]arene[2]pyrimidines-has been synthesized via a straightforward S(N)Ar reaction. The conformational properties and intra-annular dimensions of the [2(4)]thiacalix[2]arene[2]pyrimidines were evaluated by X-ray structure analysis and compared with known homothia- and thiacalixarenes. Post-macrocyclization oxidation of the bridging sulfur moieties resulted in a [2(4)]sulfonylcalix[2]arene[2]pyrimidine, which gave access to an unexplored cavity size among sulfonylcalixarenes.
