Crystal Structure of 1,3-Alternate 25,27-Dioctyloxy-5,17-diphenylcalix[4]arene-crown-6-Cesium Picrate Complex

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of 25,27-dioctyloxy-5,17-diphenylcalix[4]arene-crown-6-cesium picrate complex was established. X-ray data confirmed the 1,3-alternate conformation of the complex in the solid state. Solid-state data were used to determine the complexation behavior of this new ligand. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with two independent molecules in the crystal unit.
