The host-guest complex between cone-25,26:27,28-bis(methylenedioxy)calix[4]arene and dichloromethane.
The title compound, 25,26:27,28-bis(methylenedioxy)pentacyclo[19.3.1.1(3,7).1(9,13).1(15,19)]octacosa-1(25)3,5,7(28),9,11,13(27),15,17,19(26),21,23-dodecaene dichloromethane solvate, C(30)H(24)O(4).CH(2)Cl(2), possesses crystallographic twofold symmetry in both components. The calixarene shows a pinched cone conformation with an elliptical cavity, in which the guest dichloromethane solvent molecule is accommodated. The contact distance between guest and host (H.ring centroid = 2.44 A) is extremely short.
