Supramolecular polymerization of calix[4]pyrroles bearing tethered carboxylate functional groups was reported in the form of their tetrabutylammonium salts. At high concentrations one of the calix[4]pyrroles with a shorter linker between the calixpyrrole core and the carboxylate unit was found to give a thermoresponsive supramolecular polymer gel.
