meso-Octacyclopropylcalix[4]pyrrole ethanol solvate

The title compound, C44H52N4.C2H5OH, is a calix[4]pyrrole-type macrocycle acting as a receptor, by means of hydrogen-bond interactions to an ethanol solvent. The pyrrole groups are arranged in a 1,3-alternate conformation which gives rise to disorder in the ethanol guest, due to its ability to coordinate both above and below the plane of the macrocycle.
