Abstract

The title compound, C 46H 40N 4O 2·0.33C 6H 12, was obtained unintentionally as a product of an attempted synthesis of a cadmium(II) complex of the [2,6-{PhSe(CH 2) 2N=CPh} 2C 6H 2(4-Me)(OH)] ligand. The full tetraimino- diphenolmacrocyclic ligand is generated by the application of an inversion centre. The macrocyclic ligand features strong intramolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The dihedral angles formed between the phenyl ring incorporated within the macrocycle and the peripheral phenyl rings are 82.99 (8) and 88.20 (8)°. The cyclohexane solvent molecule lies about a site of 3̄symmetry. Other solvent within the lattice was disordered and was treated with the SQUEEZE routine [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155].
