To obtain a new calixarene derivative which is dissolved in various solvents and does not crystallize in film formation.

This calixarene derivative is represented by general formula (1) (preferably n is 4 or 6; preferably R1 is a methyl group or a propyl group; preferably R2 and R3 are each independently a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a hydroxyethyl group, a hydroxybutyl group, a chloroethyl group, a chlorobutyl group, a propenyl group or R2 and R3 are bonded to form a ring being a piperidine ring).
