Assemblies of four oligophenylenevinylene moieties arising from a calix[4]arene core, i.e., calix[4]-oligophenylenevinylenes, have been prepared by Heck-type cross-coupling reactions of styrene derivatives with a tetraiodinated cone-calix[4]arene precursor. Photophysical studies in solution have revealed that there are electronic ground state interactions between the covalently bonded OPV moieties. The absorption spectra of the calix[4]oligophenylenevinylenes are significantly different from those obtained by summing the spectra of four model units and their emission is red-shifted when compared to the corresponding model compounds. Electrochemical studies have shown that the redox processes of the four OPV subunits do not take place at the same potentials indicating also a strong electronic interaction among them in the calix[4]oligophenylenevinylenes.

On the basis of Wittig-Homer reactions and protection group techniques compound 7 for the core and the components 9a-c and 11a-c for the dendrons were prepared and linked in the final step. The convergent synthesis yielded constitutionally and configurationally pure dendrimers (2a-c, 2a'-c') which consist of distyrylbenzene units. Their thermo-oxidative stability in the presence of air was studied by chemiluminescence and compared to the dendrimers 1 consisting of stilbene units.
