1 IntroductionFullerene has received considerable attention and a great researching interest due to its unique structure and interesting properties[1-3].Many functional groups have been introduced,often region-or stereo-selectively,for tuning the physical properties of C60 and for constructing supramolecular architectures[4-6].Among all kinds of C60 derivatives,the diseotic molecule-substituted C60 derivatives show interesting properties,especially,liquid crystal properties.Up to now,few C60 derivatives with discotic-molecular groups and their liquid crystal properties have been studied.In 1996,Deschenaux et al.[7]reported the first mesomorphic C60-ferrocene derivative.Tian et al.[8]synthesized a C60-perylene derivative in 2004.Nakanishi et al.[9]prepared a series of uncommon liquid C60derivatives with 2,4,6-tris(alkyloxy)benzal groups in 2006.Lately,Geerts et al.[10]described the synthesis of mesogenic phthalocyanine-C60.

Refluxing calix[4]-1,3-substituted benzaldehyde derivative(4) with glycine hydrazide derivative,we obtained a novel calix[4]arene hydrazone derivative(5) via'1+2'condensation in a yield of 78%.In the reaction of compound 4 with L-leucine hydrazide derivative at room temperature,lariat calix[4]-1,3-aza-crown(6) with chiral amino acid group as branched chain was synthesized via'1+1'addition in a yield of 70%.The preliminary extraction experiments suggested that hosting compounds 5 and 6 possessed good complexation abilities forα-amino acids.
