Three pillar[n]arenes (n = 8-10) were synthesized. X-ray analysis demonstrated that, different from early reported small pillar[n]arenes (n = 5, 6), these larger macrocycles gave rise to two cavities. (1)H NMR and MS experiments revealed that pillar[9]arene complexed one n-octyltrimethyl ammonium in chloroform, while pillar[10]arene could complex two.
三种（n = 8-10）柱[n]芳烃被合成。X 射线分析表明，与早期报道的较小的柱[n]芳烃（n = 5,6）不同，这些较大的大环化合物产生了两个空腔。（1）H NMR 和 MS 实验表明，在氯仿中，柱[9]芳烃络合了一个正辛基三甲基铵，而柱[10]芳烃可以络合两个。
