We report the synthesis of the conformationally mobile S-shaped glycoluril pentamer building block <b>3a</b> and two new acyclic CB[n]-type receptors <b>P1</b> and <b>P2. P1</b> (9 mM) and <b>P2</b> (11 mM) have moderate aqueous solubility but their host•guest complexes are poorly soluble. Host <b>P1</b> does not undergo intermolecular self-association whereas <b>P2</b> does (K<sub>s</sub> = 189 ± 27 M<sup>−1</sup>). <sup>1</sup> H NMR titrations show that <b>P1</b> and <b>P2</b> are poor hosts towards hydrophobic (di)cations <b>6</b>–<b>11</b> (<b>P1</b>: K<sub>a</sub> = 375–1400 M<sup>−1</sup>; <b>P2</b>: K<sub>a</sub> = 1950–19,800 M<sup>−1</sup>) compared to <b>Tet1</b> and <b>Tet2</b> (<b>Tet1</b>: K<sub>a</sub> = 3.09 x 10<sup>6</sup> to 4.69 × 10<sup>8</sup> M<sup>−1</sup>; <b>Tet2</b>: K<sub>a</sub> = 4.59 x 10<sup>8</sup> to 1.30 × 10<sup>10</sup> M<sup>−1</sup>). Molecular modelling shows that <b>P1</b> and <b>P2</b> exist as a mixture of three different conformers due to the two S-shaped methylene bridged glycoluril dimer subunits that each possess two different conformations. The lowest energy conformers of <b>P1</b> and <b>P2</b> do not feature a well-defined central cavity. In the presence of guests, <b>P2</b> adapts its conformation to form 1:1 <b>P2</b>•guest complexes; the binding free energy pays the energetic price of conformer selection. This energetically unfavourable conformer selection results in significantly decreased K<sub>a</sub> values of <b>P1</b> and <b>P2</b> compared to <b>Tet1</b> and <b>Tet2</b>.
