Abstract:		"Calix[4]arene derivatives bearing carboxyl groups at the upper rim and alkyl groups at the lower rim were synthesized. Micrometer-size porous honeycomb-patterned thin films were prepared by evaporating chloroform solution of polystyrene containing the calixarene derivatives under high humidity. These films were coated on gold electrodes of QCM, and the high-frequency changes were observed to detect volatile organic compounds such as dichlorobenzene"
