[5,11,17,23-Tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-(3,6-dioxaoctan-1,8-di-oxy)-26,28-bis-(pyridin-2-ylmeth-oxy)calix[4]arene]sodium iodide-1,2,4,5-tetra-fluoro-3,6-diiodo-benzene-methanol (2/3/4).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Na(C62H76N2O6)]I·1.5C6F4I2·2CH3OH, is composed of five components: a calix[4]arene derivative (hereinafter C4), a sodium cation, an iodide anion, a 1,2,4,5-tetra-fluoro-3,6-diiodo-benzene (tFdIB) mol-ecule and a methanol mol-ecule in a 1:1:1:1.5:2 ratio. The complex shows several inter-esting features: (i) the polyoxygenated loop of C4 effectively chelates a sodium cation in the form of a distorted octahedron and separates it from the iodide counter-ion, the shortest Na(+)⋯I(-) distance being greater than 6.5 Å; (ii) the cavity of C4 is filled by a methanol mol-ecule; (iii) a second methanol mol-ecule is hydrogen-bonded to the N atom of a pyridinyl substituent pendant of C4 and halogen-bonded to the I atom of a tFdIB mol-ecule; (iv) the two I atoms of another tFdIB mol
