title: Tetrabenzo-24-crown-8 tris(1,2-dichloroethane) solvate.
abstract: The title compound, C32H32O8*3C2H4Cl2, illustrates how tetrabenzo-24-crown-8 may be solvated by a common solvent-extraction diluent, 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE). Two molecules of DCE occupy the crown cavity, forming weak hydrogen bonds to the ether O atoms and the crown arene rings, while the crown adopts its most commonly observed binding conformation. The asymmetric unit is composed of two molecules of tetrabenzo-24-crown-8 and six molecules of DCE.
