Dynamic Motion in Crown Ether Dendrimer Complexes: A “Spacewalk” on the Molecular Scale

Molecular motion in pyridazinium/crown ether supramolecular cation salts of a nickel dithiolene complex.

Supramolecular cations formed by monoprotonated pyridazinium cations and cis-anti-cis-dicyclohexano[18]-crown-6 (DCH[18]-crown-6) or dibenzo[18]-crown-6 (DB[18]-crown-6) were introduced into [Ni(dmit)2]− salts (where dmit2− = 2-thione-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate). X-ray crystal structure analysis of (pyridazinium+)(DCH[18]-crown-6)[Ni(dmit)2]− (1) revealed a chair-type conformation of the DCH[1...

Dithiolene complexes as metallo-ligands: a crown-ether approach

Structural Study of Mismatched Disila-Crown Ether Complexes

Mismatched complexes of the alkali metals cations Li+ and Na+ were synthesized from 1,2-disila[18]crown-6 (1 and 2) and of K+ from 1,2,4,5-tetrasila[18]crown-6 (4). In these alkali metal complexes, not all crown ether O atoms participate in the coordination, which depicts the coordination ability of the C-, Si/C-, and Si-bonded O atoms. Furthermore, the inverse case—the coordination of the larg...

Manganese(II)-lithium and -sodium inverse crown ether (ICE) complexes.

Extending to transition metals, the class of compounds known as inverse crown ethers, two mixed alkali metal-manganese(II) amide ring compounds with oxo cores have been synthesised and crystallographically characterised, together with an oxo-free alkyl-amido precursor.

Charge transfer in some complexes of crown ether and of thiacrown ether with dihalogens: DFT study.

The present study was carried out by focusing on the interaction between molecular complexes crown and thiacrown ethers such as 15-crown-5 (15C5), thia-15-crown-5 (T15C5), dithia-15-crown-5 (DT15C5) with homogeneous and heterogeneous dihalogens (XY) such as I2, IBr, ICl, Br2, Cl2 in the gas phase and in dichloromethane solvent through applying density function theory (DFT) as well as Gaussian 9...
