The synthesis and characterization of the conjugated macrocycle tri­ox­azolo[23]meta­cyclo­phane, C27H15N3O3 (M), is reported. The macrocycle was synthesized in three steps by the multicom­ponent van Leusen reaction and consists of meta-linked phenyl­enes connected through positions 4 and 5 of an oxazole hetero­cyclic ring. The mol­ecular structure was investigated by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that M possesses a twisted saddle-like shape and inter­acts with nearby mol­ecules by various π–π inter­actions. Absorption and emission spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were further used to study the electronic properties of M.

Experimental. One distinct cell was identified using APEX3 (Bruker, 2016). Four frame series were integrated and filtered for statistical outliers using SAINT (Bruker, 2014) then corrected for absorption by multi-scan methods using SADABS v2014/7 (Krause et al., 2015). No decay correction was applied.??

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Structure was phased by intrinsic phasing methods (Sheldrick, 2015). Systematic conditions suggested the unambiguous space group. The space group choice was confirmed by successful convergence of the full-matrix least-squares refinement on F2. The final difference Fourier map had no significant features. A final analysis of variance between observed and calculated structure factors showed little dependence on amplitude or resolution.
