In the title compound, [Zn(C44H28N4)]·C12H24O6, the Zn(II) ion lies on an inversion center and the asymmetric unit contains one half of a Zn(TPP) complex (TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetra-phenyl-porphyrin dianion) and one half of a centrosymmetric 18-crown-6 mol-ecule. The Zn(TPP) complex exhibits a nearly planar conformation of the porphyrin core [maximum deviation = 0.106 (2) Å] with an average Zn-N di...

18-Crown-6, one of the most relevant crown ethers, and sodium cholate, a steroidal surfactant classified as a natural bile salt, are components of a novel, synthesized coordination complex: 18-crown-6-sodium cholate (18C6·NaCh). Like crown ethers, bile salts act as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry to design new functionalized materials with a desired structure and properties. In orde...

Aiming at a fundamental understanding of the synergistic effects different additives on electrochemical Mg deposition/dissolution in an ionic liquid, we have systematically investigated these processes combined and theoretical study, using 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (BMP-TFSI) as solvent cyclic ether (18-crown-6) magnesium borohydride additives. Both crown ...

In the title compound, C(3)H(12)N(2) (2+)·2ClO(4) (-)·2C(12)H(24)O(6), the central C atom of the propane-1,3-diammonium cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and the two terminal -NH(3) groups insert into the crown rings through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, resulting in the formation of a 1:2 supra-molecular [(C(3)H(12)N(2))·(C(12)H(24)O(6))(2)](+) complex. The perchlorate anion links with th...

In the crystal of the title compound, (C4H12N)[FeCl4]·C12H24O6, the butan-1-aminium cation and the tetra-chloridoferrate(III) anion have m symmetry: in the cation, the non-H atoms are located on the mirror plane and in the anion, the Fe(III) atom and two Cl atoms are located on the mirror plane. The 18-crown-6 mol-ecule also has m symmetry, with two O atoms located on the mirror plane. The buta...

The reaction of Pb[BF(4)](2) in H(2)O/MeCN solution with the macrocycle 18-crown-6 gave the dinuclear complex [{Pb(18-crown-6)(H(2)O)(μ(2)-BF(4))}(2)][BF(4)](2), containing two nine-coordinate lead centres, each bound to all six oxygens of a crown ligand, one water molecule and bridged by two μ(2)-BF(4) groups. In contrast, the oxa-thia crown [18]aneO(4)S(2) gave the mononuclear [Pb([18]aneO(4)...

In the title compound, [CuBr(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·C(12)H(24)O(6)·2H(2)O, the Cu(II) atom, which is situated on an inversion centre and has a slightly distorted square-planar geometry, and the two coordinated water mol-ecules are linked to the 18-crown-6 macrocycles by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The water mol-ecule of crystallization further links the metal complex and the crown ether macrocycles into a cha...

In the title compound, C(3)H(12)N(2) (2+)·2BF(4) (-)·2C(12)H(24)O(6), the central C atom of the propane-1,3-diammonium cation lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The terminal NH(3) (+) groups insert into the crown rings through strong N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, resulting in the formation of a 1:2 supra-molecular [(C(3)H(12)N(2))·(C(12)H(24)O(6))(2)](2+) complex. The ani...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(12)N(+)·ClO(4) (-.)C(12)H(24)O(6), contains one half of the cationic [(C(2)H(5)-C(6)H(4)-NH(3))(18-crown-6)](+) moiety and one half of the ClO(4) (-) anion. Two O atoms of the crown ether, four C atoms and the N atom of the ethylanilinium unit and the Cl and two O atoms of the anion lie on a mirror plane. In the crystal structure, the -NH(3) (+) ...

The crystal structure of the title compound, poly[[(4,7,13,16,21,24-hexa-oxa-1,10-diaza-bicyclo-[8.8.8]hexa-cosa-ne)rubidium] [[(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxacyclo-octa-deca-ne)rubidium]di-μ-rubidium-μ-nona-stannide] penta-ammonia], {[Rb(C(18)H(36)N(2)O(6))][Rb(3)Sn(9)(C(12)H(24)O(6))C(12)H(24)O(6))]·5NH(3)}(n) represents the first ammoniate of a Zintl anion together with two different chelating subs...
