Jc. Bryan et Ra. Sachleben, Synthesis of a new dibenzo-14-crown-4 lariat ether and structure of its sodium perrhenate complex, J CHEM CRYS, 29(12), 1999, pp. 1255-1259
A dibenzo-14-crown-4 ether with a novel monooxyacetone sidearm is prepared
and its structure with sodium perrhenate is determined. The structure cryst
allizes in P2(1)/c with cell dimensions: a = 8.107(2) Angstrom, b = 28.138(
3) Angstrom, c = 10.293(2) Angstrom, and beta = 104.173(9)degrees; giving a
volume of 2276.6(7) Angstrom(3). This structure is compared to other sodiu
m complexes of dibenzo-14-crown-4 lariat ethers and is found to be the only
one with intramolecular bonding between the sidearm and the cation. Possib
le reasons for this observation are discussed.
