Water trapped in dibenzo-18-crown-6: Theoretical and spectroscopic (IR, Raman) studies

“…15). Low frequency Raman spectra confirm the presence of linear I 3 − . Similar to the IR spectra, some features in the Raman spectra measured in the solid phase are not well reproduced by our model.…”

“…We are thus interested in the controlled synthesis of one-dimensional structures via a supramolecular approach, either by combining hydrogen bonding with metal ion complexation or with ligand templating and -interactions [1][2][3]. Crown ethers and their complexes with metal cations have attracted considerable attention since the pioneering work of Pedersen [4].…”

“…As we are interested in the formation of new materials with functional properties, based on one-dimensional polymers [1][2][3][9][10][11][12] the question arose whether it was possible to stack DB18C6 ligands in such as way as to obtain one-dimensional channels. The potential capacity of DB18C6 to form interactions upon stacking appeared to us as an interesting property in this context.…”

Polymorph of Dibenzo‐24‐Crown‐8 and its Mercury Complex

“…Due to these pos-sible changes in property, an understanding the conditions, under which the different polymorphs of a compound can be obtained, which is of great interest in the case of active pharmaceutical compounds or materials molecules. In our group, we were mainly interested in the polymorphism of coordination compounds, [12] especially in the context of antimicrobial silver compounds, [4,13] for which conformational as well as pseudo-polymorphism was observed.…”

Silver coordination polymers with isonicotinic acid derived short polyethylene glycol – Synthesis, structures, anion effect and solution behavior

“…We started to investigate silver coordination polymers using the neutral ligand ethanediyl bis(isonicotinate) Li1 (Scheme 1) [9,10] and its derivatives, which can be modified by simple elongation of the middle spacer, using diethylene glycol [11], triethylene glycol [12,13] and tetraethylene glycol [13,14] as starting materials for the synthesis of the ligands. In this manuscript however, we will focus on the shortest variant of the ligand, Li1.…”
