Extraction of Chromium(VI) with a Crown Ether.

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...

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

Synthesis of a novel D-glucose-conjugated 15-crown-5 ether with a spiro ketal structure.

This paper describes a synthetic approach to a novel D-glucose-conjugated 15-crown-5 ether having a spiroketal structure starting from a 1-C-vinylated glucose derivative. The approach consists of the glycosylation of the vinylated glucose derivative to give an ethyleneoxy spacer derivative using bismuth(III) triflate, the conversion of the 1-C-vinyl group of the glucoside produced into a carbox...

Multipodal coordination of a tetracarboxylic crown ether with NH4(+): a vibrational spectroscopy and computational study.

The elucidation of the structural requirements for molecular recognition by the crown ether (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18c6H(4)) and its cationic complexes constitutes a topic of current fundamental and practical interest in catalysis and analytical sciences. The flexibility of the central ether ring and its four carboxyl side arms poses important challenges to experimental an...

Viscoelastic characterization of benzo-crown ether functionalized electroactive films.

Electrochemical, acoustic wave and imaging (AFM) methods were used to characterize electroactive poly[Ni(3-Mesalophen-b15-c5)] films. The distinct physical principles of these techniques generate different responses to film characteristics, such that their simplistic correlation in the context of a single uniform film model does not adequately describe the data. Film behaviour can only be ratio...
