Structure of p-tern-butylcalix[4]arene Hexanoate : An Another Cone Conformer

p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene Hexanoate의 구조 : 또다른 Cone Conformer

An another symmetric cone conformational isomer of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene hexanoate(C/sub 68/H/sub 96/O/sub 8/) was prepared and was determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystals are orthorhombic, Pbca, a=20.625(3) Å, b=21.291(3)Å, c=30.22(4)Å, V=13271(2)ų and Z=8. The intensity data were collected on an Enraf-Noninus CAD-4 diffractometer with a graphite monochromated Mo-Kα radiation. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R value of 0.138 for 2394 observed reflections. The molecular conformation is distorted symmetric cone with the flattening B and D phenyl rings.
