5,11,17,23‐Tetra‐tert‐butyl‐25,26,27,28‐tetrakis(2‐cyano­benzyl­oxy)‐2,8,14,20‐tetra­thia­calix­[4]­arene–di­chloro­methane (1/2)

A new p‐tert‐butyl­thia­calix­4]­arene derivative, C₇₂H₆₈N₄O₄S₄·2CH₂Cl₂, has been synthesized and is comprised of one tetra‐p‐tert‐butyltetrakis(2‐cyano­benzyl­oxy)­tetra­thia­calix­4]arene and two di­chloro­methane mol­ecules. The calix­4]­arene mol­ecule is centrosymmetric and adopts an unusual 1,2‐alternate conformation viaπ–π interactions between adjacent cyano­phenyl rings on the lower rim of the parent thia­calix­4]­arene system.
