Abstract

Abstract The podand, bis (2-methoxyphenoxy) m-xylene (1), was designed and synthesized as a potential host for the cesium ion. Its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in P 2 1/c with cell dimensions: a= 8.5723 (7) Å, b= 8.3931 (14) Å, c= 25.2879 (26) Å, β= 96.224 (9)○, and V= 1808.7 (4) Å 3. A crown derivative, tribenzo-21- crown-6 (2), was also prepared and structurally characterized. It also crystallizes in P 2 1/c ...
