Abstract

An X-ray crystallographic study of binding of nitrate and sulfate anions with two laterally asymmetric aza cryptands (Lo and Lm) having different cavity dimensions is reported. A variety of binding modes for these anions have been observed. Cryptand Lm having a larger cavity than that of Lo, prefers to encapsulate a planar nitrate over Td sulfate in its cavity when both anions are available for complexation. A discrete (H2O)29 cluster can be identified as surrounded by six sulfate ions attached to two Lm units. 1H NMR titration results indicate that either [H3Lo]3+ or [H3Lm]3+ binds strongly with sulfate rather than nitrate in solution.
