Examples of a new type of cryptophane molecule incorporating aromatic groups in the bridges (1 - 4) and for the first time, being also supplied with three endo-positional ionizable carboxylic acid function (1) have been synthesized and characterized. The cryptophane triester 2 yielded a solvate (channel inclusion compound) with trichloromethane and water, the X-ray crystal structure of which is reported. The complexation of 1 with low-molecular-weight alcohols in solution was studied, and the liquid-liquid extraction of different metal ions including alkali (Na+, Cs+), alkaline earth (Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+), and the lanthanide metal ions Eu3+ and Yb3+ in an extraction system containing metal nitrate buffer/H2O/1/CHCl3 was examined. Molecular modeling calculations of the cryptophanes 1 and 2, and of the Eu3+ complex of 1 were carried out contributing to the discussion.
