Abstract
Four kinds of macrocyclic polyethers containing isobutenyl group and aromat ic rings were synthesized. X-ray analyses of crystal structure revealed sig nificant differences in conformation among the compounds studied, in spite of their similarity in chemical formula. One compound was found to capture a benzene molecule in crystalline phase, while the others did not. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
