This account reports the synthesis and structural characterization of the first cyclometallated platinum(II) complex that coordinates a potassium cation in a sandwich arrangement via two 15-crown-5 ether rings within the same molecule. The cooperation of the two small crown ether moieties allows the entrapment of the non-ideal potassium ion. The reaction of the parent thiosemicarbazone ligand 3,4-(CHO)CHC(Me)=NN-(H)C(=S)NHMe, , containing the crown ether ring, with K[PtCl], or alternatively with PtCl(DMSO), and subsequent treatment with the diphosphanes PhPCHPPh (dppm) and PhPC(=CH)PPh (vdpp) produced the double nuclear platinacycles , , and , probably via formation of the and intermediates. Complex with the K cation in a sandwich coordination was slightly mixed with lacking any K. Alternatively, reaction of 1 with K[PtCl] or with PtCl(DMSO) followed by the diphosphane PhPC(=CH)PPh (vdpp) only gave the dinuclear phosphane-bridged compound ; this highlights the importance of choosing the right diphosphane ligand. Density functional theory calculations (B3LYP-D3/LANL2DZ-ECP-6.311++G**) revealed similar affinities for both dppm and vdpp derivatives to coordinate potassium cations. Crystal structure analysis was performed for compounds and .

Crown ether is widely used in water purification because of its ring structure and good selective adsorption of specific heavy metals. However, its high cost and difficulty in recycling limit the purification of heavy metals in water. The anisotropic [2,4]-dibenzo-18-crown-6-modified bamboo pulp aerogel (DB18C6/PA) is successfully synthesized by microwave irradiation and directional freezing technology.

Crown-Ether Coordination Compounds of Europium and 24-Crown-8.

Institute of Inorganic Chemistry (IAC), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Engesserstraße 15, D-76131 Karlsruhe, Germany.

Crown-ether coordination compounds of europium(II/III) and the crown ether (CHO) (24-crown-8, 24c8) are prepared, aiming at novel compounds, structures, and coordination modes as well as potential luminescence properties. By reacting EuCl, EuI, or EuCl with 24c8 or its derivatives in ionic liquids, the novel compounds [BuMeN][Eu(II)(NTf)] (), [BMIm][EuI] (), [EuCl(dibenzo-18c6)] (), [EuI(dibenzo-24c8)] (), [(Eu(III)Cl)(CHO)](24c8) (), and [Eu(III)Cl(24c8)]I () are obtained (BMIm: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium; EMIm: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium). Based on different reaction conditions, different coordinative modes including the absence of the crown ether in the product (, ), splitting of the crown ether (), and coordination of 24c8 via six of eight oxygen atoms () and, finally, via all oxygen atoms () are observed.

Macrocycles represent one important class of functional molecules, and dynamic macrocycles with the potential of cleavability, adaptability, and topological conversion are challenging. Herein we report photoswitchable allosteric and topological control of dynamic covalent macrocycles and further the use in guest binding and mechanically interlocked molecules. The manipulation of competing ring-chain equilibria and bond formation/scission within reaction systems enabled light-induced structural regulation over dithioacetal and thioacetal dynamic bonds, accordingly realizing bidirectional switching between crown ether-like covalent macrocycles and their linear counterparts.

Chiral hybrid organic-inorganic metal halides (HOMHs) hold great promise in broad applications ranging from ferroelectrics, spintronics to nonlinear optics, owing to their broken inversion symmetry and tunable chiroptoelectronic properties. Typically, chiral HOMHs are constructed by chiral organic cations and metal anion polyhedra, with the latter regarded as optoelectronic active units. However, the primary design approaches are largely constrained to regulation of general components within structural formula.

The crystal structure of the title compound, hexa-aqua-nickel(II) dichloride-1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-deca-ne-water (1/2/2), [Ni(HO)]Cl·2CHO·2HO, is reported. The asymmetric unit contains half of the Ni(OH) moiety with a formula of CHClNiO at 105 K and triclinic (1) symmetry. The [Ni(OH)] cation has close to ideal octa-hedral geometry with O-Ni-O bond angles that are within 3° of idealized values.
