| Abstract: | Combinations of ferrocene with unsubstituted calix n]arenes, n =4 and 5, in toluene afford crystalline inclusion complexes (calix4]arene) 3 (ferrocene) hexagonal, a =14.7797(4), c =18.4400(4) Å, P6M3/m , ρ = 1.389 g.cm ?1 , Z =2, R 1 =0.0963 (on 1401 observed data I >2 σ ( I )])] as a lattice-type inclusion complex, and (calix5]arene)(toluene) 0.55 (ferrocene) 0.45 monoclinic, a =9.6908(8), b =15.069(1), c =22.957(1) Å, β = 90.155(5)°, P21/m , ρ =1.318 g.cm ?1 , Z =4, R 1 =0.1005 (on 3130 observed data I >2 σ ( I )])], that shows endo -cavity complexation of ferrocene by the calixarene. |
