The synergistic effect of 18-crown-6 derivatives, such as 18-crown-6 (18C6), cis-dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DC18C6) and dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6), on the extraction of trivalent lanthanoids (Ln(3+)) into an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, with 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (Htta) was investigated. The extractability of lighter Ln(3+) was enhanced by ad...

2,4-dithiouracil (DTU) forms in the crystals the H-bonded monohydrates of a 1:1:1 ratio with 18-crown-6 (18C6) 1, cis,syn,cis-isomer of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH6A) 2, and benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) 3, while the anhydrous adduct with cis,anti,cis-isomer of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH6B) 4 is of a 2:1 ratio. In 1-3 the components reproducibly alternate in the chains, while in 4 the chains ar...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(20)H(24)O(6), contains two mol-ecules that are identical within standard deviations concerning bond lengths and angles as well as their conformations. In the crystal structure, weak C-H⋯O inter-actions help to consolidate the packing.

Experimental (IR and Raman) and theoretical (Kohn-Sham calculations) methods are used in a combined analysis aimed at refining the available structural data concerning the molecular guests in channels formed by stacked dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) crown ether. The calculations are performed for a simplified model comprising isolated DB18C6 unit and its complexes with either H2O or H3O+ guests, w...

The reaction of 4-bromo-aniline, 18-crown-6, and perchloric acid in methanol yields the title compound, C(6)H(7)BrN(+)·ClO(4) (-)·C(12)H(24)O(6), in which the protonated -NH(3) (+) group forms three bifurcated N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the O atoms of the crown ether.

Complexation characteristics of 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane (18-crown-6, 18C6) with Li+ and K+ in a hydrophobic ionic liquid of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide under dry and humid conditions at 298.2 K were studied by 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts. The comparison of the 1H and 13C chemical shifts of 18C6 molecule between the dry and humid IL solutions w...

The title compound, [Na(CF(3)O(3)S)(C(12)H(24)O(6))], features a sodium cation that is coordinated by eight O atoms in an irregular hexa-gonal bipyramidal environment. The equatorial positions are occupied by the six O atoms of an 18-crown-6 ether ring. In the axial positions, there is one O atom of a trifluoro-methane-sulfonate anion and an ether O atom of a symmetry-equivalent crown ether rin...
