The effect of the crystallization conditions on the conformation of the tetramethoxy resorcinarene skeleton was investigated in acetone solutions, to which was added a second component (less favorable solvent or salt) to promote crystallization. The resorcinarene core was found to adopt three different conformations: crown (I), a pinched crown (II) and a twisted pinched crown (III). In addition, the flexibility of the resorcinarene core was compared with a tetramethoxy resorcinarene derivative, resorcinarene bis-crown, which is in a fixed boat conformation.
