Journal ArticleDOI

Second‐sphere Coordination of [Pt(bipy)(NH3)2]2+ by Dibenzo‐crown Ethers. Solution Spectroscopic Studies and the Crystal and Molecular Structures of [Pt(bipy)(NH3)2.dibenzo‐30‐crown‐10] [PF6]2.0.6 H2O and [Pt(bipy)(NH3)2.dibenzo‐24‐crown‐8] [PF6]2

TL;DR: In addition to hydrogen bonding and Coulombic forces, charge transfer interactions stabilise the 1:1 adducts formed between [Pt(bipy)(NH3)2] 2+ and a series of dibenzo-3n-crown-n (n = 6-12) ethers as evidenced by 1H NMR and UV-visible spectra in solution and by X-ray crystal structures (for n = 8 and 10) in the solid state as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The isolation and X-ray structure of a complex between lithium picrate and dibenzo-36-crown-12

TL;DR: The crystal structure of 2Li picrate was determined by X-ray diffraction methods as mentioned in this paper, and the 2H2O complex was shown to have a 2:1 crystal structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of the receptor stereochemistry in [Pt(bipy)(NH3)2·dinaphtho-30-crown-10][PF6]2 and [Diquat·dinaphtho-30-crown-10][PF6]2(bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine)

TL;DR: In this paper, X-ray crystallography and 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy have revealed dramatic differences in the binding of [Pt(bipy)(NH3)2]2 + and [Diquat]2+ dications by dinaphtho-30-crown-10 (DN30C10) with the platinum complex adopting a slewed position, apparently in order to maximise overlap between the π-arene systems in the receptor and in the complex, whereas the Diquat dication adopts a
