Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the novel selenium coronands, 1,3,7,9-tetraselenacyclododecane 1a, 1,3,7,9,13,15-hexaselenacyclooctadecane 2a, the corresponding β-gem-dimethyl derivatives 1b, 2b, and 1,5,9,13-tetraselenacyclohexadecane 3, and 1,5,9,13,17,21-hexaselenacyclotetracosane 4 are described. X-ray crystallographic analysis of 1a reveals three independent molecules that exist in two distinct conformations, one molecule having approximate two-fold symmetry together with two molecules (of similar conformation) each having crystallographic symmetry. The conformations are denoted as [3333] or [66]. Whereas one resembles that of cyclododecane and tetrathia-12-crown-4 with respect to torsion angles, the other resembles that of tetraoxa-12-crown-4. The solid state CP-MAS 77Se and 13C nmr spectra are interpreted in light of the crystallographic information. Crystal structure: formula Se4C8H16; fw = 428.05; monoclinic, P21/c; Z = 8; a = 15.823(2) Å, b = 5.534(1) Å, c = 27.962(5) Å, β = 92.26(1)°; V = 2446.6 Å3; T = 200 K; R = 0.027 for 2162 observed data (I ≥ 2.5σ(I)).This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
