The Calixarenes’ chemical variability and their flexible cage-type structure make them versatile model hosts for studies of molecular recognition. Dynamical information about the guest-host interaction could be derived from time-resolved ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis) which would provide temporal as well as local information about the chemical environment if one labels the host (or guest) molecule with an atomic marker. To this end, we labelled Calixarenes with iodine markers and attached them to gold substrates with dialkyl-sulfide linkers. The film stechiometry, thickness and density were studied with XPS, AFM and imaging ellipsometry, respectively. The results support the expected elemental composition and a film thickness compatible with the molecular orientation perpendicular to the surface.
