Reaction of tetranitrodibenzo-18-crown-6 with sodium alkoxides

It is shown that the reaction of tetranitrodibenzo-18-crown-6 with sodium alkoxides in aprotic solvents at room temperature occurs with initial cleavage of the macroheterocycle and formation of an intermediate — substituted o-dinitrobenzene — whereas the reaction in protonated solvents occurs with substitution of the nitro groups. From among other derivatives of dibenzo-18-crown-6 containing azole rings linked to the benzene ring, only the furoxan-containing crown ether is cleaved under similar conditions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 37–40, January, 1989.     

Nucleophilic substitution reactions in tetranitrodibenzo-18-crown-6

The nature of the reaction of a reagent with tetranitrodibenzo-18-crown-6 was found to depend on its basicity. This behavior was interpreted in the framework of the theory of hard and soft acids and bases.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 605–608, May, 1992.

Bis-substituted benzo-15-crown-5 ethers as ion carriers in potassium ion-selective electrodes

Lipophilic bis-substituted ester and ether derivatives of benzo-15-crown-5 have been synthesised. The correlation between the structure and potentiometric ion-selectivity has been studied in PVC membrane ion-selective electrodes. An ion-selective potassium sensitive electrode based on 4,5-bis (biphenyloxymethyl)benzo-15-crown-5 exhibited the best electrode properties. The detection limit was loga _K = -5.4; logK _K,Na ^ppot = -3.5. The effect of the lipophilicity of neutral carriers upon electrode performance has been also discussed.     

Benzo-15-crown-5 1∶1 and 1∶2 complexes with dithiooxamide and thioacetamide

Benzo-15-crown-5 and thiooxamide in the 11 complex form infinite chains of alternating host-guest molecules. The host oxygen atoms are involved in six close interactions with amide hydrogen atoms forming one bifurcated and one single hydrogen interaction on each face. In the 12 complex the host forms a distinct molecular entity with two thioacetamide molecules. Again one bifurcated and one normal hydrogen...oxygen interaction occurs on each face. The conformation of the benzo-15-crown-5 host is the same in both complexes and agrees with a conformation of the free host calculated by molecular mechanics. The conformation of crystalline benzo-15-crown-5 differs from that calculated. In either case, no major conformational reorganization is required to accommodate the intermolecular interactions. The oxygen atoms of the benzo-15-crown-5 form an approximate pentagon with the amide nitrogen atoms lying 2.18(1) Å from the mean plane.

Binding of secondary dialkylammonium salts by pyrido-21-crown-7

Pyrido-21-crown-7 (P21C7) has been synthesized and shown to form [2]pseudorotaxanes spontaneously with secondary dialkylammonium ions. These complexes are stronger than their benzo-21-crown-7 counterparts and much stronger than their dibenzo-24-crown-8 counterparts. Based on this new P21C7/secondary dialkylammonium salt recognition motif, a [2]rotaxane terminated by phenyl groups as stoppers has been successfully constructed using the threading-followed-by-stoppering technique.     

Mass-spectrometric investigation of ionophoric derivatives of benzo- and dibenzocrown ethers. 4. 4′-Acyl derivatives of benzo-15-crown-5 and benzo-18-crown-6

The mass spectra of 4-acyl derivatives of benzo-15-crown-5 and benzo-18-crown-6 were studied by the method of direct analysis of the daughter ions (DADI). It was established that the fragmentation of the M⁺ ions of the investigated compounds under electron impact proceeds via the scheme of the McLafferty rearrangement with the simultaneous elimination of ethylene oxide. The degree of occurrence of the McLafferty rearrangement increases with an increase in the length of the side chain.See [3] for communication 3.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 989–901, July, 1987.     

Intramolecular Sandwich Complexation of Light Lanthanoid Nitrates with Bis(benzo-12-crown-4)s: Enhanced Selectivity for Eu

Spectrophotometric titrations performed in anhydrous acetonitrile at 25°C give the complex stability constants (log Ks) and the Gibbs free energy changes (-G° for the stoichiometric 1 : 1 intramolecular sandwich complexation of light lanthanoid (III) nitrates (La Gd) with the polymethylene-bridged bis(benzo-12-crown-4)s 1, the corresponding dioxo derivative 2 and its dihydroxy analogue 3. The complex stability sequence as a function of reciprocal ionic radius of lanthanoids showed similar profiles in stability constants (log Ks) and maximum stabilities were obtained at Eu3+ for the complexation of light lanthanoids with the three bis(benzo-12-crown-4)s 1–3. The cation binding abilities and relative selectivities for the trivalent lanthanoid ions of these structurally related bis(benzo-12-crown-4)s 1–3 are discussed according to the derivatization of the bridging.

f-Element/crown ether complexes: 21. Conformational changes in metal complexed versus hydrogen bonded benzo-15-crown-5 in the structure of [Y(OH2)3(NCMe)-(benzo-15-crown-5)][ClO4]3·benzo-15-crown-5·CH3CN

Crystalline [Y(OH₂)₃(NCMe)(benzo-15-crown-5)][ClO₄]₃·benzo-15-crown-5-CH₃CN can be obtained by slowly cooling a reaction mixture of Y(ClO₄)₃·n H₂O with benzo-15-crown-5 in a solution of acetonitrile and methanol (3 : 1) from 60°C to room temperature. The crystal structure of this complex has been determined at –150 and 20°C. The complex is triclinic,P . At –150°C the cell parameters area = 11.986(4),b = 12.071(7),c = 16.364(5) Å, = 93.56(3), = 98.68(3), = 109.68(4)°, vol = 2187 ų, andD _calc = 1.61 g cm^–3 forZ = 2 formula units. 3633 independently observed [F _o 5(F _o)] reflections were used in the final least-squares refinement leading to an agreement index ofR = 0.048. The Y(III) ion coordination geometry approximates a tricapped trigonal prism with three water molecules and three benzo-15-crown-5 oxygen atoms forming the prism, with the two remaining benzo-15-crown-5 oxygen atoms and the acetonitrile molecule completing the coordination as capping atoms. The three water molecules hydrogen bond a second crown ether molecule and two of the perchlorate anions. The two acetonitrile molecules have contacts with perchlorate oxygen atoms close enough for some weak interaction. One perchlorate is ordered, one is partially disordered as is the coordinated solvent molecule, and the third anion is totally disordered. The two unique crown ether molecules have distinctively different conformations.For Part 20, see reference [1].

The X-ray structure of the trichlorocuprate of naphtho-15-crown-5 complexed potassium

The structure of the trichlorocuprate of naphtho-15-crown-5 complexed potassium has been determined by X-ray analysis. The crystal contains the complex cations [K(naphtho-15-crown-5)₂]⁺, the anion [Cu₂Cl₆]^2– and water molecules. The full composition of the compound in the solid state is represented by the formula [K(naphtho-15-crown-5)₂]₂[Cu₂Cl₆]·nH₂O), wheren3. The sandwich type cations are similar to those found previously for potassium complexes with benzo-15-crown-5. The coordination number of potassium is equal to 10; the coordination polyhedron is a 15-crown-5. The coordination number of potassium is equal to 10; the coordination polyhedron is a pentagonal antiprism. The water molecules are disordered and occupy six symmetrically independent positions with a probability of 0.5 in the crystal. The lack of close contacts between water molecules and the remaining components enabled the treatment of the complex as a clathrate.
