In the title compound, C48H64O4·0.5CH2Cl2, both crystallographically independent calixarene molecules display a partial cone conformation. Their crystal packing is stabilized by C—H...π contacts involving the methoxy groups. The solvent molecule is located interstitially between two calixarene units with C—H...Cl contacts to methoxy and tert-butyl groups. One tert-butyl residue of each calixarene molecule is disordered over two positions (occupancies 0.60/0.40 and 0.63/0.37), resulting in bond distances that deviate from ideal values. The tetramer calixarene molecules present models with approximate non-crystallographic Cs symmetry.
