Abstract
The complexation between water soluble calixarenes and testosterone has been studied. Stability constants of the host guest complexes of 4-sulphonic calix[n]arenes (n = 4, 6 and 8) with testosterone in water and buffers (pH 5.8, 7.3 and 10.0) were determined from phase solubility curves. These solubility curves indicated that the complexes were all of the AL type. The constants were in the range 26–341 M-1, dependent on the size of the calixarene and the pH of the solutions.
