Abstract
The formation of complexes between crown ethers and aklylammonium cations may, to some extent, be modelled using standard molecular mechanics methods and an appropriate charge distribution scheme. Monocyclic crown ethers may be developed to give chromoionophores suitable for use in optical fibre based ion sensors. The incorporation of two crown ether systems into polycyclic host molecules which show highly selective complexation of guest bis-alkylammonium cations is described. The scope of these ditopic receptors may be extended by using metalloporphyrins in place of one or both of the crown ether binding sites.
