摘要:
                                The title compound C46O4H60 crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P1 bar, with a = 11.584(2), b = 16.261(2), c = 11.172(1) angstron, alpha = 103.15(8), beta = 95.68(1), gamma = 96.85(1)-degrees.  The structure was solved by direct methods, and refined by weighted full-matrix least squares to R = 0.097.  This is the second calix[4]arene with two different alkyl substituents at para positions of the phenolic rings.  The macrocycle adopts the cone conformation.  Interactions CH3-pi are established between two calixarenes related by a center of symmetry.  Comparisons are made between the conformation of this molecule and that of symmetrically substituted calix[4]arenes.
