Abstract
From 100.6-MHz 13C NMR coalescence temperature measurements, the title complex is shown to undergo a single degenerate ring inversion process with a free energy barrier of [Formula: see text]. This is ca. 5 kJ/mol higher than the barrier in the free crown. The solid state 13C CPMAS spectrum is indicative of a totally unsymmetrical conformation and the shift trends in the solid are analyzed in terms of local torsional angle variations. Comparisons of experimental vs. calculated (GIAO) 13C chemical shift ranges for the CH2O carbons in the solid are made and satisfactory agreement with respect to the overall range and magnitude of the 13C shielding differences is obtained. Key words: crown ethers, stereochemistry, NMR.Keywords
