Spectral investigation of the effect of anion on the stability of non covalent assemblies of 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octahydro-1,4,7,10,13-benzopentaoxacyclopentadecine (benzo-15-crown-5) with sodium halides.

A series of complexes of 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octahydro-1,4,7,10,13-benzopentaoxacyclopentadecine (benzo-15-crown-5) with sodium halides was synthesized in acetonitrile. The effect of anion on the stability and spectral properties of complexes of benzo-15-crown-5 with sodium halides was investigated. The synthesis of complexes of sodium fluoride and sodium chloride are reported for the first time.
