Abstract

p-Benzylcalix[5]arene.3py (py = pyridine) (1) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1, a = 10.641(3), b = 13.975(3), c = 24.052(12) Å, α = 94.60(4), β = 91.51(4), γ = 111.46(2)°, V = 3312(4) Å3, Z = 2. Refinement led to a final conventional R value of 0.065 for 5457 reflections. The calixarene is in a distorted cone conformation. Two pyridine molecules are hydrogen bonded to phenolic oxygen atoms and one of them is included in the hydrophobic cavity of the neighboring calixarene molecule along the a axis.
