Abstract The structures of three arene-tricarbonylchromium complexes prepared from cone and 1,3-alternate-25, 26,27,28-tetrapropoxycalix[4]arene(1) and Cr(CO)6 were determined by single crystal X-ray studies. Crystal data for 1,3-alternate-1·Cr(CO)3 are space groupP21/a,a=19.496(3)Å,b=11.118(2)Å,c=19.121(2)Å, β=109.95°(1) andV=3895Å3. The structure was refined toRw=0.068. Crystal data for cone-1·Cr(CO)3 are space groupP21/a,a=21.457(4)Å,b=12.184(1)Å,c=14.816(2)Å, β=91.61°(1) andV=3872Å3. The structure was refined toRw=0.077. Crystal data for cone-1·2Cr(CO)3 are space groupP21/a,a=18.019(3)Å,b=41.347(4)Å,c=11.743(2)Å, β=97.39°(1) andV=8676Å3. The single crystal included two similar but slightly different structures but the data were successfully refined toRw=0.092. The structure of 1,3-alternate-1·Cr(CO)3 differs only slightly from that of the regular 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene. In contrast, cone-1·Cr(CO)3 and cone-1·2Cr(CO)3 show an unusual conformation with a pair of faced gablelike roofs, which is considerbly distorted from the regular cone calix[4]arene. The origin of this distortion is discussed in combination with the spectral studies.
