Abstract
Abstract The crystal structures of two arene substituted benzo-15-crown-5 moieties have been determined. Aminobenzo-15-crown-5 crystallizes as a hydrogen bonded polymer. The interaction between the amino group and the macrocylic oxygen atoms influences the observed conformation. The structure of [KI(OH2)((NO2)benzo-15-crown-5)]2 reveals dimer formation via a donor interaction between the nitro group of one crown ether and the K+ ion coordinated to a second ether. In both structures the arene substituent has a dramatic effect on the observed solid state structure.
