摘要

The title compound [systematic name: 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetra­propyn­yloxy-2,8,14,20-tetra­thia­calix[4]arene], C52H56O4S4, is an alkyl­ated product bearing four propyne groups at the lower rim of a 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-tetrathia­calix[4]arene. The mol­ecule is located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis, running through two S atoms and perpendicular to the long axis of the mol­ecule. The four propyne groups, located in an alternate fashion above and below the mean plane of the four S atoms, are almost parallel to the calixarene long axis. The dihedral angle between the two crystallographically independent benzene rings is 86.77 (14)°. Two tert-butyl groups are disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.59 (2) and 0.41 (2).
