Description
Summary:In the title compound, C55H69BrO4, the calixarene molecule displays a `partial cone' conformation bearing the lateral substituent in a sterically favorable equatorial arrangement between two syn-orientated arene units. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C—H...π contacts, involving one tert-butyl group, and π–stacking interactions of the lateral bromobenzene units [centroid–centroid distance = 3.706 (1) Å].
