Abstract
The complexation of a series of bis(benzo crown ether)s of variable ring size and length of the linking chain with Na+, K+ and Cs+ was studied in the gas phase by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry in nitrobenzyl alcohol/glycerol as a matrix. Both 2:1 (conventionally within the cavity of the crown ether units) and 1:1 complexes (a sandwich-like structure) were found depending on the cavity size of the crown units, the outer diameter of the complexing cations and the length and flexibility of the linking chain. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
