The beauty of crystals : A bridge between crystals that degrade when their guests are removed and crystalline solids that refuse to release their guests has been provided by Atwood et al. with the report of a calix[4]arene that forms an approximate hexagonal close‐packed array of quasi‐spherical trimers in the presence and absence of guest molecules (see X‐ray crystal structure).
