Abstract

The crystal structures of two 12-membered crown ethers, benzo-12-crown-4 (1) and naphtho-12-crown-4 (2), have been determined by X-ray analysis. Both structures are molecular. Compound1 is monoclonic,P21/b,a=8.466(3),b=8.019(3),c=33.590(10) Å, γ=90.99(3)o. The unit cell contains two crystallographically independent molecules of1 with similar conformations. Compound2 is also monoclinic,P21/a,a=24.148(8),b=14.535(4),c=7.987(5) Å, γ=102.87(2)o. Two independent molecules in the unit cell have significantly different conformations.
