2,25-Dioxo-27,28-diphenyl-30-oxa-29-thia-3,10,17,24-tetraazapentacyclo[24.2.1.112,15.04,9.018,23]triaconta-5,7,9(4),10,12,14,16,18,20,22,26,28-dodecaene chloroform disolvate

The macrocycle of the title compound, C36H24N4O3S·2CHCl3, contains a rigid framework with the nitrogen and oxygen heteroatoms pointing in towards the center of the macrocyclic cavity. The macrocycle is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) except for the thiophene ring. The dihedral angle between the thiophene ring plane and the mean plane of the central macrocyclic core including all atoms except sulfur is 21.6 (1)°. Four intramolecular hydrogen bonds occur: two are between the amide hydrogen atoms and the Schiff base nitrogen atoms, while the others are between the amide hydrogen atoms and the sulfur atom of the thiophene. The two solvate chloroform molecules are bound to the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the ligand by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonding. In addition, the structure reveals intermolecular Cl...Cl close contacts [3.308 (2), 3.404 (2) and 3.280 (2) Å] between the chloroform solvate molecules. In the crystal, the macrocycles form layers parallel to (101), with an interlayer distance of 3.362 (3) Å. This short distance is determined by the stacking interactions between the amide carbonyl and imine fragments of neighboring ligands.
