Tetraaryl and tetraferrocenyl resorcinarenes 1a – 1d were fully alkylated with 1‐bromo‐3‐chloropropane or 4‐chlorobutyronitrile in refluxing acetone with potassium carbonate as base to give O ‐3‐chloropropyl derivatives 2a – 2d and O ‐3‐cyanopropyl derivatives 3a – 3d . The single crystal analysis shows that alkylresorcinarenes exist in an rccc (all cis ) configuration and arylresorcinarenes in an rctt ( cis‐trans‐trans ) configuration. The electrochemical properties of tetraferrocenyl resorcinarenes were studied by cyclic voltammetry.
