Metal-directed　self-assembly　approaches　led　to　the　formation　of　two　novel　boat-shaped　palladium(II)-based　metallacalixarenes　1　(1　a,　1　b　and　1　c)　and　2　(2　a,　2　b　and　2　c),　by　using　the　two　new　ligands　2,6-bis(1H-naphtho[2,3]imidazol-1-yl)pyridine　(L-1)　and　1,3-bis(1H-naphtho[2,3]imidazol-1-yl)benzene　(L-2)　with　cis-coordinated　Pd-II　precursor　(tmeda)Pd(ONO2)(2)　(tmeda=N,　N,　N　＇,　N　＇-tetra-methylethylenediamine),　repectively.　All　complexes　with　different　counterions　were　systematically　characterized　in　solution,　and　their　structures　were　determined　by　X-ray　single　crystallography　analyses　in　the　solid　state.　The　crystal　architectures　were　subtly　regulated　among　different　anions　through　two　types　(inter-　and　intra-)molecular　C-H　hydrogen　bonding　interactions　and　other　weak　interactions.　The　anion　complexation　with　the　two　metal-assembled　anion　receptors　were　further　investigated　in　solution.
