Synthesis and Coordination Ability of a Partially Silicon Based Crown Ethers
K. Reuter, G. Thiele, T. Hafner, F. Uhlig, C. von Hänisch – 2016
The first hybrid crown ether with two adjacent disilane fragments was synthesized through reaction of O(Si2Me4Cl)2 (3) with O(C2H4OH)2. By means of DFT calculations, the complexation ability of 1,2,4,5-tetrasila[12]crown-4 (7) towards Li+ was determined to be considerably higher compared to [12]crown-4.
