Abstract
A new type of ligand system is reported which, by means of a rigid support structure, focuses the twenty-four electrons of six attached oxygens on an enforced cavity; the system complexes Li+ and Na+, but rejects other alkali or alkaline earth ions, solvents, and parts of its own support structure.Keywords
