Factors influencing solvent adduct formation by calixarenes in the solid state.
Structural studies of seven very differently functionalised derivatives of calix[4]arene have been used to provide an analysis of the numerous factors which may influence solvent adduct formation by calixarenes. Evidence is presented that even where a solvent guest is included within the calixarene cavity, interactions solely within the cavity cannot be seen as the sole influences upon the guest position and orientation.
