X-Ray crystallography has revealed that the chiral 30-crown-10 derivative DD-(2) adopts a basketlike conformation when it forms a 1 : 1 : 1 complex with (S)-[PhCHMeNH,]+ Cl0,-and H20 in the solid state; lH n.m.r. spectroscopy suggests that 1 : 1 : 1 complexes of this type between (i) D D -( ~) , RINH,+ cations, and H,O, and (ii) D D -( ~) , RINH,+ cations, and R2NH2 are also stable in solution.

In this chiral bisanisylene macrocycle DO-(3), the dianhydromannitolo units adopt a 'backto-back' geometry with respect to each other.

The molecule DD-(3) has approximate noncrystallographic C2 symmetry about an axis passing through the centre of, and normal to, the mean plane of the macrocyclic ring. In the solid state, the molecule has diastereotopic faces with the two aryl methoxy groups both oriented away from the more open of the two ring faces.Introduction. In order to confer greater rigidity upon receptor molecules such as DD-(1) (Metcalfe, Stoddart, Jones, Crawshaw, Quick & Williams, 1981;Metcalfe, Stoddart, Jones, Crawshaw, Gavuzzo & Williams, 1981) and DD-(2) (Crawshaw, Stoddart & Williams, 1986) containing 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-mannitol, it was decided to appeal to 2-substituted-l,3-xylylene units as constitutional building blocks and rigid spacer groups.Since the first report (Vfgtle & Weber, 1974) of the use of these units in the synthesis of macrocyclic hosts, they have found wide application (McKervey & Mulholland, 1977;Newcomb, Moore & Cram, 1977; van der Leij, Oosternik, Hall & Reinhoudt, 1981;McKervey & O'Connor, 1982). In this paper, we report on the results of an X-ray crystallographic investigation of the macrocyclic compound DD-(3) incorporating two dianhydromannitolo rings and two m-anisylene units.Experimental. Single crystals of DD-(3) (found: C 64.8, H 6.5%; C30H36010 requires C 64.7, H 6-5%), suitable for X-ray crystallography, were grown (Crawshaw, 1982) (7) 9583 (4) 8219 (4) 7835 (4) 71 (2) 0(8) 9547 (5) 7398 (5) 8250 (5) 155 (3) C (9) 10555 (8) 7150 (6) 8765 (9) 183 (5) C (10) 11154 (6) 7949 (5) 9107 (6) 98 (3) O (11) 12239 (4) 7794 (3) 9395 (4) 122 (2) C (12) 12843 (7) 8420 (5) 10048 (6) 116 (3) C (13) 13100 (5) 9161 (4) 9521 (5) 81 (2) C (14) 12609 (4) 9957 (3) 9370 (4) 60 (2) C (15) 12836 (5) 10615 (4) 8852 (4) 72 (2) C (16) 12259 (6) 11463 (4) 8644 (5) 83 (2) O (17) 11673 (4) 11607 (3) 7694 (3) 97 (2) C (18) 10838 (4) 11019 (4) 7323 (4) 70 (2) C (19) 10329 (5) 11172 (8) 6252 (5) 107 (3) 0(20) 9314 (3) 10828 (5) 6054 (3) 118 (3) C (21) 8995 (5) 10804 (4) 6907 (5) 69 (2) C (22) 9909 (4) 11082 (4) 7726 (4) 67 (2) 0(23) 9711 (4) 11939 (4) 7979 (4) 119 (2) C (24) 8796 (7) 12250 (5) 7279 (6) 121 (3) C (25) 8139 (5) 11434 (4) 6922 (4) 68 (2) 0(26) 7390 (3) 11617 6012 (3) 74 (1) C (27) 6543 (5) 11021 (4) 5697 (5) 74 (2) C (28) 6845 (4) 10182 (4) 5294 (4) 59 (2) C (...
