✦ Synopsis

5,5%-Bicalix [4]arene 1, a ditopic host possessing two divergent cavities, crystallizes from CH 2 Cl 2 and p-xylene to give an iterative assembly of a three-component zigzag array. This array is formed by CH-p inclusion of a linear CH 2 Cl 2 •p-xylene connector within the facing cavities of two molecules of 1. Each zigzag array is perpendicularly interconnected to the lateral one through hydrophilic interactions of calixarene-OH groups.
