ABSTRACT
The abi l i ty of macroheterocyclic compounds to complex with ionic species hasled to the synthesis and invest igat ion of many multidentate macroheterocyclicspecies . The most s table complexes are formed between macrocyclic polyetheralligands crown ethers) with alkal i or alkal ine earth metal iona. There i s anexcellent correlat ion of the s tab i l i ty of these complexes with the s ize of thecat ion and the s i t e of the cavity in the macrocyclic l igand. Additional factors ,such as the basici ty of the ligand and the solvat ing abi l i ty of the solvent ,also play important roles in the s tab i l iza t ion of the complex.
The s tab i l i ty of such complexes has been advantageously used to increaseanionic react iv i ty and has been successful ly applied to several organic f luorinat ions, oxidat ions, and simi lar react ions. The use of macrocyclic l igands ininorganic syntheses of otherwise di f f icu l t to obtain fluoro compounds has notbeen reported.
O-carborane and m-carborane, C2BlOHl2 are icosahedral cage systems derived2- _from Bl 2H12 by replacement of BH with the i soelectronic CH group. These s tab lemolecules exhibit electron-def icient bonding which can best be explained bydelocal izat ion of electrons. This delocal izat ion gives r i se to s tab i l i ty simi larto that found in aromatic hydrocarbons.

Crown Ethers: Applications in InorganicSynthesis
Crown Ethers-Metal complexes of natural ly o c c u r r l n g m g c r n ~ e c y c l ~ such as porphyrin
and corrin r ing derivatives , l have been known for over f i f ty years. During thepast decade a number of synthetic macrocycles capable of binding metal ions havebeen prepared and investigated. The in i t ia l work by Pedersen focused on macrocyclic polyethers or crown ethers . 2,3 Subsequent work by Pedersen4 and others 1• S- 8has led to the synthesis of macrocyclic, macrobicyclic and macrotricyclic moleculescontaining oxygen. nitrogen and sulfur atoms in the r ing.
The most widely studied l igands are macrocyclic polyethers or crown ethers .Pedersen reported that during an attempted synthesis of bis 2- o-hydroxyphenoxy)ethyl) ether from bis 2-chloroethyl) ether and a sodium sa l t of 2- o-hydroxyphenoxy) tecrahydropyran, which contained some catechol. a small amount of a whitefibrous material was formed. 2,3 This white mater ial . dibenzo-l8-crown-6, wasobserved to be quite insoluble in methanol, but readi ly soluble in methanol af te rthe addition of sodium sa l t s 9 This observation led to the discovery of the complexing power of these macrocyclic molecules. There have now been over one hundredroacroheterocyclic molecules prepared and investigated. l• 6,9
NomenclatureThe IUP C nomenclature rules applied to bridged hydrocarbons. such as these
roacrocyclic molecules, give r ise to long and cumbersome names Consequently,Pedersen developed an ad hoc system of nomenclature that i s commonly used. 2 Thename includes a family name. such as crown, and two numbers. the f i r s t of whichrepresents the number of Btoms in the ring and the second the number of functional

group atoms in the ring. Any addi t ional nonethyleneoxy-substitutions in to ther ing must also be named. For example the name of the compound synthesized byPedersen is dibenzo-lB-crown-6.
Appendix I contains a l i s t of the appropriate names structures and ionsbound by many of the bet te r known synthetic macrocyclic polyethers and polythioetherso However, due to tbe diversi ty of applicat ions of synthetic macrocyclicl igands tbe remainder of this paper shal l be concerned with polyethers commonlyreferred to 8S crowns and a family of bicyclic polyethers cryptands preparedby Leho and coworkers. lO ll

Appendix II contains a l i s t of review ar t i c l es and other publications dealingwith the preparation of macrocyclic polyethers. The commercial avai labi l i ty ofsome of these compounds has stimulated much of the research in their applicat ions.Because of th is avai labi l i ty the preparations of these compounds will not bediscussed here.
Complex stabi l i tyThe abi l i ty of the crowns and cryptands to complex a metal cat ion appears to

12be a Lewis acid-base phenomenon. The basic heteroatoms surround tbe cat ion andapparently stabil ize the complex according to the following cr i ter ia
1) size of the ion and macrocyclic cavity;2) number of functional atoms oxygens in crown ethers) ;3) the coplanari ty of oxygen atoms;4) the symmetrical placement of oxygen atoms;5) basic i ty of the oxygen atoms;6) s te r ic hindrances of the polyether ring;7) the tendency of the ion to associate with the solvents;8) electr ical charge of the ion. 1• 2
Perhaps the greatest of these influences are the size of the lon Bnd the sizeof the cavity found in the macrocyclic polyether. Studies have shown that cationstoo large to f i t within the cavi ty are bound less stably than those ions whicheasi ly f i t within the cavity.2,9.13 Depending on the rat io of the diameter of thecavity and the metal ion diameter. 1:1. 1:2. or 2:3 ion: wacrocyclic l igand com-plexes can be formed. 1• 2• l 2,14 However. the fact that a metal ion forms a 1:1complex with a cyclic polyether does not necessari ly indicate that the metal ionis located within the cavity of the macrocyclic compound. For example. the cobal tdichloride dicyclohexano-lB-crown-6 complex can be ei ther a chain or sandwich-typeof complex. 15

Chain
The number of functional atoms and the coplanarity of a macrocyclic l igandare important as individual influences upon the complexing abi l i ty of a polyetherbut Pedersen has shown 2 that these two influences are closely re la ted Whenthere are seven or more oxygen atoms present in the polyether ring, the atoms areunable to arrange themselves in a coplanar configuration. 2 Consequently. i f thereare no other at ta inable three dimensional symmetrical configurations. tbe complexwill be less stable than a complex with fewer. but coplanar. functional atoms.
Symmetry is thus an important factor influencing the s tab i l i ty of a poly-etheral or cryptate complex. Where there are more than seven oxygen atoms. ori f the cation to crown ether ra t io s much greater than one. l 6 three dimensionalsymmetry i s often at tainable. The most ommon of these i s a configuration inwhich the oxygen atoms arrange themselves around the surface of a r ight ci rcularcylinder with the apices of the C O C angles pointed toward the center of thecylinder. This configuration i s termed cyl indrical symmetry.2 One of the great-est advantages in using a cryptand 1s the three dimensional symmetry afforded bythem. The cation is completely enclosed within the cryptand leading to such

very s table complexes as described by Dye and c o ~ o r k e r s 1 7 1 8 Since complexation in croW S and cryptates can be described as a Lewis acid
base phenomenon. the basici ty of the macrocyclic ligand i s fundamental to theformation of a s table complex. The basici ty of the oxygen donors in the r ing canbe affected by inductive effec ts caused by the nonethyleneoxy-substitutions in ther ing. Saturated groups have a greater electron donating abi l i ty than unsaturatedgroups. As a resul t saturated compounds are bet ter coroplexing agents. l 4
Dye19 and Lehn 20 have reported that the activation energy for formation ofthe 2.2.2.-cryptate complex with a sodium cat ion i s higher than for several crownethers . This is to be expected because the additional ster ie hindrance of thecryptands makes complex formation energetical ly l ess favorable. However. the i rstabi l i ty af te r complexation makes their use as a l igand desirable.
The stabi l i ty of a cation complex results from the balance between the freeenergy of the 501ution and of complexation. 21 The solvent plays a major role inthe formation of a complex. Crowns and cryptands can be dissolved in cormoon ,- rorganic solvents and are also soluble in aqueous solutions . Commonly methanol ormethanol-water 2• 9,22 have been used; methanol is a poor solvent for crown ethersbuc an exceltent solvent for the inorganic sal ts 14 Other commonly used solventsare tetrahydrofuran. benzene. diethyl ether and dimethyl sulfoxide.
Applications of macrocyclic polyethersThe abi l i ty of crowns aod cryptands to form complexes with a lka l i and alkal ine
earth metal ions and a l imited number of other ions is the i r moat noteworthycharacterist ic . This property of complexation allows crowns to solubil ize otherwise insoluble ionic compounds in organic solvents.
One of the most in terest ing examples of th is property of crowns was reported
by Ssm and SilJDIlons. 23 They obtained the purple benzene solution of potassiumpermaogaoate by addition of a crown to the benzene. However. th is i s one of the

Another practical use that has ar isen for crown ethers i s the i r effect ivenessas agents for the solubil ization of potassium fluoride in polar and nonpolaraprot ic organic solvents.

Another report followed with the re la ted dissolut ion of sodium but in this casea crystal l ine sol id could be obtained when 202020-cryptand and a sodium mirror wereput into a cowman solution. The crystals were invest igated and showed what appearedto be a sodium cation contained within the cryptate and another sodium ion outsidethe cryptate with a nearest sodium-sodium distance of 7 006 A that was concludedto be a sodium anion. 17• 18

Macrotricyclic molecules can also form stable select ive anion complexes withthe spherical halide anions. Anion complexation was observed by 13C N R spectroscopy. The anion is held ins ide the molecular cavi ty of the cryptand in i t stetraprotonated form by a tetrahedral array of N+-Ht.oX- hydrogen bonds. 37 Thisstructure has been confirmed by the determination of the crysta l s tructure of

Carboranes
The appl icat ion of crown ethers in organic synthesis i s re la ted to theirabi l i ty to solubi l ize ionic reagents in nonpolar media and thereby increase theact ivi ty of the ionic species. Crown ethers have been employed in the conversionof alkyl , acyl and aryl halides to the i r respective fluorides in ace toni t r i le byl8-crown-6 act ivated potassium fluoride. 24 Analogously, halide-subst i tu ted car-boranes might undergo similar nucleophilic aromatic subst i tu t ion .
1.2-C2Bl I2 and l,7-C2BlOH12, o-carborane and m-carborane respect ively, are2- -icosahedral cage systems derived from B12H12 by replacement of H by the iso-
electronic CH (see Figure I . Carborane chemistry has benefited from intensivetheoretical effor t s directed toward understanding their unique bonding.
BondingCarboranes have electron-def icient s t ructures in which che total number of
4valence electrons i s l ess than the number of atomic orbi ta ls avai lable for bonding.To explain the remarkable s tab i l i ty of such electron-def icient molecules as car-boranes and the heavier boranes, there must be some degree of electron delocal izat ion. This picture of delocal izat ion is also consis tent wich the aromatic character or super aromaticity of c r o r n e s ~ There are two main theoret ical bondingschemes which can effect ively explain such bonding: 1 a local ized three-centerbond approximation. and 2 construction of molecular orbi ta ls extending over the
40entire cage system. Since the former i s more useful in open frameworks whenextensive electron delocal izat ion i s not expected, only the l a t t e r i s applicableto carboranes .
The delocalized bonding and thermal and hydrolytic stabi l i ty of carboranescan also be pictured in terms of resonance stabi l i ty as in aromatic hydrocarbons.

Additional evidence of delocal izat ion of electrons i s found in observed inductive. 41ei f ects in c a ~ e su bs t i t u t i on r e a c t ~ o n S
The high symmetry and evidence of aromatic character make the carboranesreasonable candidates for molecular orbi ta l bonding theor ies. The f i r s t suchcalculat ion was performed by Longuet-Higgins and o b e r t s ~ which led to the pre
2diction of a stable B12Hl2 icosahedral anion. which was la te r confirmed byexperimental resu l ts . These authors assumed that each B-H bond in the moleculeinvolved a normal two-center two-electron bond. leaving three orbi ta ls and twoelectrons on each boron -to be used in the cage framework bonding. Such a systeminvolves 36 molecular orbi ta ls 13 of which are bonding orbi ta ls . The neutral
2molecule has only 24 electrons and consequently the B12H12 ion contains two addit ional ,e lectrons and hence a more stable closed-shel l configurat ion. More complicated and extensive molecular orbi ta l treatments of carboranes have been undertakenby Lipscomb and Hoffrnann. 43,44 Among the most general resu l t s of these LCAO MOcalculat ions are that the carbon atoms are the most posi t ive locat ions on the cage.In ~ r a s t the boron atoms tend to be more negative . the greater the i r distance
45from the carbon atoms. These charge densi t ies are not consis tent with re la t iveelectronegativi t ies of boron and carbon .

One of the main motives behind such work is the poss ib i l i ty of incorporat ing thethermally s table carboranes into high polymers such as si l icones to increasethermal s tabi l i ty .47

molecules, leads only to boron-subst i tuted products. Attack by bromine. chlor ineor iodine has been shown to be highly stereospecif ic . Firs t the more negativeboron atoms furthest from the carbon atoms are at tacked, followed by the adjacent

Hexafluoroosmate (IV) ion
. The application of crown ethers in the synthesis of t ransi t ion metal complexeshas received l i t t l e at tent ion. But the recent work by Fakley and Pidock 28 indicatesthat t rans i t ion metal alkyl- or aryl-complexes containing cyanide can be obtainedby using crown ethers in organic solvents. The synthesis of f luorinated t rans i t ionmetal complexes usually involves a f luor inat ing agent such as hydrogen f luoride orbromine-trifluoride. Both of these reagents are di f f i cu l t to ~ r with becauseof their high reac t iv i ty and toxic i ty . Consequently, a synthesis of hexafluoroosmate IV) ion via a crown ether act ivated/or naked f l u o r i d ~ ion was undertaken.
In the class ic work of Ruff and his col laborators , although the i r work wasdirected mainly to making simple f luorides such s osmium te t rafluoride and ir idiumtetraf luoride, they observed that f luor inat ion of a metal l ic osmium int imately

The substance hadno melting point but decomposed t 235 0 C From the avai lable information t wasconcluded that the red substance i s the [K2 (dibenzo-18-crown-6)] OsBr6 complex.Similar t ransit ion metal complexes have been reported. 28
Crystals of potassium hexafluoroosmate (IV) were obtained following a t r d i -t ional procedure using bromine t r i f luor ide as an oxidizing and fluorinating agent.The crysta ls were characterized by electronic spectroscopy, but no conclusiveevidence was obtained. The cryst l s were given to Dr Patterson and co-workersat the University of Maine. Orono. r Patterson hopes to obtain the low-temperature luminescence and absorption spectra in tbe vis ib le and near infrared regions.Hexafluoroosmate (IV) ions give sharp d-d t r nsi t ion absorptions which do notinvolve the high-intensi ty . short wavelength charge t ransfer bands.
