title: Synthesis and coordination ability of a partially silicon based crown ether.
abstract: The first hybrid crown ether with two adjacent disilane fragments was synthesized through reaction of O(Si2Me4Cl)2(3) with O(C2H4OH)2. By means of DFT calculations, the complexation ability of 1,2,4,5-tetrasila[12]crown-4 (7) towards Li+was determined to be considerably higher compared to [12]crown-4.
