title: Synthesis, complexation, and supramolecular assembly of 21,30-dithia-17,25-dimethyl-1,4,7,10,13- pentaoxa[13.3.3](1,2,6)cyclophane.
abstract: [structure: see text] A crownophane consisting of a dithia[3.3]metacyclophane moiety was synthesized by employing a high dilution method. The crystal structure and complexation behavior of this crownophane was studied. A hydrogen-bonded linear supramolecular assembly using anion-Na(+)-crownophane-solvent as a synthon was observed in the solid state. This supramolecular assembly was also stabilized via an intermolecular S.H-C interaction.
