Variable temperature Hirshfeld surface analysis of interdigitated calix[6]arene bearing O-alkyl C18 linear chains

Calix[6]arene bearing linear C18 alkyl chains crystallises in the inverted double cone conformation with three chains on either side forming a side of a hexagon in an hexagonal close packed array of interdigitated alkyl chains. The nature of the interactions has been probed over different temperatures using Hirshfeld surfaces.
