(Chemical Equation Presented) Stable π-dimers are formed upon oxidation of the model units of proposed calix[4]arene-based molecular actuators in a solvent of low dielectric constant (CH2CI2) at room temperature. Evidence from UV-vis, EPR, and DPV are all in agreement with the π-dimer formation. In addition, π-dimer formation is dependent upon the conformational flexibility of the calix[4]arene hinge.
