The novel title macrocycles, based on methylene-bridged 1,5-naphthalene units, have been obtained by template effect in a thermodynamically controlled synthesis. In details, the prism[5]arene 1 or the prism[6]arene 3 was selectively taken away from the equilibrium mixture by using the complemen-tary ammonium-templating agent. When only the solvent 1,2-DCE was used, then the 1,4-confused derivative 2 was ob-tained. The prism[5]arene here described shows a deep π-electron rich aromatic cavity thanks to which exhibits a great affinity for the quaternary ammonium guests, originat-ing from favorable cation··· π and +NC−H··· π interactions. This recognition motif is the basis of the templated synthesis of the prism[n]arenes here reported.
