Especially the isomerism with respect to the amide O=C - NH bonds and imine fragments were assigned by various useful NMR parameters ( C=O, 1JN,H, 1JC,H) and proved to be E,E-anti,anti. Furthermore, stereochemical information about preferred conformations about flexible bonds was obtained from 2D ROESY NMR experiments. The complex formation (2:1 complexes and sandwich-like 1:1 complexes, respectively) were determined also by 23Na NMR spectroscopy. The conformational study of the crown ethers was accompanied and corroborated by molecular dynamics and quantum chemical calculations. Y1 - 2001 ER -
