Synthesis and Characterisation of an [18]Crown-5-Ligand and its NaNCS Complex

Abstract
The new [18]crown-5 ligand -[18] ⟨O5-(2,2′)-diphenylmethano·24 -coronand-5⟩ [1] -, containing a benzylic CH2 group, was prepared by condensation of 2,2'-dihydroxydiphenylmethane with tetraethylene glycol dichloride. The ligand exhibits an endo-conformation and short O···H2C contacts. The macrocycle ligates Na+ by contracting its cavity so that its five O atoms form an approximately regular pentagon.
