New tetrabenzimidazole cavitands with upper rims extended by aromatic groups have been prepared and their X‐ray structures were analyzed. The reversible encapsulation of a series of n ‐alkylammonium guests was studied by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. These guests showed different binding modes and unique interactions with the hydrophobic cavity. The trimethylammonium guests bearing n ‐butyl to n ‐hexyl substituents stabilize the C 4 v conformation of the cavitand by additional CH ··· π interactions with the aromatic upper part. The longest n ‐hexylammonium salt adopts a minimal gauche conformation to fit in the cavity. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
