The crystals were obtained from ethanol by slow evapora-tion at room temperature and the four hydroquinone groups of the benzene ring formed a ¦Ð-electron-rich cavity by C-H¡¤¡¤¡¤Br stacking interaction. The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group Pbcn with a = 17.3174(15), b = 12.9891(11), c = 19.3379(17) Å, ¦Á= ¦Â = ¦Ã = 90¡ã, V = 4349.8(7) Å3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.304 g/cm3, C44H61 BrN4O8, Mr = 853.88, F(000) = 1808, ¦Ì = 1.001 mm−1, CuKa radiation (¦Ë = 0.71073), R = 0.0434 and wR = 0.1091 for 5200 observed reflections with I > 2¦Ò(I). %K Synthesis %K Crystal Structure %K Cyclen Derivative %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=79841
