Welcome to the superbowl! The coupling of five resorcinarene‐based compounds affords the covalent bowl‐shaped analogues of hydrogen‐bonded hexameric capsular assemblies (see picture). Such molecules offer stability, solubility, and functionality beyond those of their noncovalent cousins, and provide interesting insight into intracavity reactions, molecular transport, and complexation processes.
