The interaction between benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6), dibenzyl-daza-18crown-6 (DBzDA18C6), N-phenyl-aza-15-crown-5 (NPhA15C5) and dibenzopyridine-18-crown-6 (DBPy18C6) with π-acceptor 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) in chloroform solution was studied spectrophotometrically. The interaction of B15C5-DDQ and DB18C6-DDQ caused the formation...

The crystal structure of the title compound C(8)H(10)N(3) (+)·ClO(4) (-)·C(12)H(24)O(6)·H(2)O, consists of an organic (1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methanaminium cation, an inorganic ClO(4) (-) anion, one 18-crown-6 mol-ecule and one water mol-ecule. In the crystal, the cations and 18-crown-6 mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯...

The cobalt complex [{K(18-crown-6)}2(C5H5)][Co(C8H12)2]·(THF)2 (3) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal structure determination. The crystal structure of Co(C8H12)(C8H13) (2) has been reinvestigated and compared with the structure of 3. The 1,5-cyclooctadiene (C8H12) and C8H13 ligands are coordinated in an η4 and η3 fashion, respectively. The cyclopentadienyl anion in ...

Phosphine is conformationally stable because of the high inversion energy barrier of the phosphorus atom, which allows the phosphorus atom to become a chiral center. Thus, enantiopure P-stereogenic 12-, 15-, 18-, and 21-membered aliphatic phosphines "diphosphacrowns" were synthesized from secondary P-stereogenic bisphosphine as a chiral building block. Their complexation behaviors with alkali m...

Stability constants in 90% (v/v) DMSO /water mixture were evaluated for the complexes of Ag(I), Co(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) with the macrocyclic compounds, namely, 15-crown-5, benzo-15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, dibenzo18-crown-6, dicyclohexano-18-crown-6, dibenzo-24-crown-8 and dicyclohexano-24-crown-8 by conductometric titrations. A potentiometric study of co...

In the title compound, [Fe(III)(C48H36N4O2)(H2O)2][K(C12H24O6)(H2O)2](SO3CF3)2·2C12H24O6, the Fe(III) atom is situated on an inversion centre and is octa-hedrally coordin-ated by four pyrrole N atoms of the deprotenated 5,10,15,20-tetra-kis-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)porphyrinate ligand and two water mol-ecules. The average equatorial Fe-N(pyrrole) bond length [2.043 (6) Å] is consistent with a high-s...

A series of supramolecular complexes of various cytochrome c proteins with 18-crown-6 derivatives behave as cold-active synzymes in the H2O2 oxidation of racemic sulfoxides. This interesting behavior contrasts with native functionality, where the employed proteins act as electron transfer carriers. ESI-MS. UV, CD, and Raman spectroscopic characterizations reveal that four or five 18-crown-6 mol...
