An Insight into Ion-transport by Calixarenes; the Structure of the Dipotassium Complex of P-tert-butylcalix[8]arene Crystallised from a Protogenic, Coordinating Solvent [ethanol/diethylcarbonate (10:1)]

Abstract

The structure of the dipotassium complex of the dianion of p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene crystallised from a protogenic, coordinating solvent (ethanol-diethylcarbonate, 10:1) shows that the metal ions are bound above and below the cavity of the calix[8]arene, which adopts a “pinched” conformation.
