Abstract: An inclusion complex between p-tert-butylcalix[6] arene and toluene was prepared. It crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group P21/ n, a =1.734 7(2) nm, b =1.903 2(2) nm, c =1.972 9(2) nm, β =94.74(1)°, V =6.491 2(14) nm3, Z =4. The toluene molecule was included in the macrocycle cavity. The calixanene is of a pinched cone conformation.

Key words: p-tert-Butylcalix[6]arene, Toluene, Inclusion complex
