Abstract
Crystallization of 5,17-dibromo-11,27,23,25-tetraone-26,28-dipropoxycalix[4]arene results in the rare observation of two different calix[4]arene conformations (partial cone and 1,3-alternate) co-crystallized within the same single crystal X-ray structure. Analysis using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy revealed that only a single conformation (the cone) was present in solution, and in contrast to the structures of other reported calix[4]arenes and calix[4]quinones, both conformations of the compound present in this crystal structure have a “pinched” shape, drastically reducing Br-Br separation and associated cavity sizes.

Abstract
Two new polymorphic forms of Ph2Te2–1,4-C6F4I2 cocrystals feature an unusual packing of Ph2Te2 molecules, which is typical for native Ph2Se2 but not Ph2Te2. This suggests the existence the yet unknown, Ph2Se2-like polymorph of Ph2Te2.
