Ab. Driega et al., SYNTHESIS OF CIS-P-DIOXANO-12-CROWN-4 AND X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY OF THE (1 1)COMPLEX WITH LITHIUM THIOCYANATE/, Canadian journal of chemistry, 76(2), 1998, pp. 142-146
The synthesis of a novel 12-crown-4 analogue (cis-p-dioxano-12-crown-4
or cis-3,6,9,13,15-pentaoxabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadecane) is described. T
he (1:1) LiNCS complex crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group;
a = 8.4973(2) Angstrom, b = 18.0659(4) Angstrom, c=8.9168(1) Angstrom,
and beta = 90.713(1)degrees with Z = 4. The crown adopts C-1 symmetry
to which the Li+ is coordinated in a rectangular pyramid with an apic
al -NCS.
