Abstract

U.v. and n.m.r. spectroscopic investigations in solution have been employed to assess the ability of a series (n = 7-12) of bisparaphenylene-(3n + 4)-crown-n ethers to form stable 1:1 complexes with [Diquat]²⁺ and [Paraquat]²⁺ dications; these mappings of molecular recognition are supported by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of the 1:1 complexes with both [Diquat][PF₆]₂ and [Paraquat][PF₆] ₂, and a single crystal X-ray structure analysis of [Diquat·BPP31C9][PF₆]₂.
