A new conformation of the cyclic polyther benzo-15-crown-5 in its solvated complexes with calcium isothiocyanate: X-ray crystal structure analysis
Abstract
The molecular structures of benzo-15-crown-5–Ca(NCS)2·MeOH and the corresponding water-solvated complex show a new irregular conformation of the crown ether (consistent with the i.r. spectra), and eight-co-ordination of calcium, comprising five ether oxygen atoms, two isothiocyanate nitrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom from the solvent.
