Abstract

Dibenzo-14-crown-4 alcohols are shown to aggregate in chloroform by the formation of hydrogen-bonded dimers. Structural variations between crown ether alcohols significantly affect the degree of dimerization. This self-association is of relevance for understanding the complexation and extractive properties of these and related macrocycles.
