The central pyridine ring of the 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine fragment of the title compound, C29H29N3O6, forms dihedral angles of 5.2 (5), 10.1 (5) and 86.0 (6)°, respectively, with the two outer pyridine rings and the benzene ring of the benzo-15-crown-5 fragment.

The synthesis of 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine was carried out according to Constable & Ward (1990). 4'-Hydroxy-benzo-15-crown-5 was obtained on the basis of commercially accessible benzo-15-crown-5 by the formylation reaction (Chitta et al., 2004) and the subsequent oxidizing decarbonylation (Kobayashi, 2001). 4'-(4'''-Benzo-15-crown-5)-oxy-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine has been synthesized using reaction of nucleophilic replacement of 4'-chloro-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine with 4'-hydroxy-benzo-15-crown-5 in the dry DMSO in the presence of a base (KOH).
The synthesis of 4'-(4'''-benzo-15-crown-5)-oxy-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (Scheme 2): to a stirred suspension of powdered KOH (890 mg, 15,90 mmol) in dry DMSO (12 ml) in the argon atmosphere at 70 °C, the 4'-hydroxy-benzo-15-crown-5 (928 mg, 3,269 mmol) was added. After 30 min, 4'-chloro-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (873 mg, 3,269 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 8 h at 70 °C and then poured into 150 ml of ice water. The water phase was extracted with chloroform (150 x 100 x 50 x 50 ml), dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuum. The residue (20 ml) was purified by
on the neutral Al2O3 (CHCl3). After evaporation, the product, obtained as a yellowish oil, was crystallized from diethyl ether, then filtered and washed on the filter by the cooled diethyl ether, recrystallized from methyl alcohol (25 ml) and dried in vacuum at 60 °C. The yield of the target product as white solid was 623 mg (37,2%). (M. p. = 151 °C)During the exposure, the specimen was spun in its plane to improve particle statistics. The orthorhombic unit-cell dimensions were determined with the indexing program ITO (Visser, 1969), M20=44, using the first 35 peak positions. The
Fdd2 was chosen on the basis of systematic extinction rules and confirmed later by the solution. The structure of (I) was solved by the systematic grid search procedure (Chernyshev & Schenk, 1998) and refined following the methodology described in detail elsewhere (Dorokhov et al., 2007) by the subsequent bond-restrained with the program MRIA (Zlokazov & Chernyshev, 1992). All O atoms were refined isotropically with the overall Uiso parameter. The Uiso for the rest of non-H atoms were fixed at 0.051 Å2. All H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and not refined. The diffraction profiles and the differences between the measured and calculated profiles are shown in Fig. 2.Ability of 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines to form complexes with transition metals, such as Zn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Ru(II) is widely used in supramolecular chemistry to control self organization processes. Introduction of additional fragments with various coordinating groups to a molecule of 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine opens broad prospects for purposeful design of supramolecular compounds (Andres et al., 2003). 4'-(Benzo-15-crown-5) substituted 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines represent a new interesting class of compounds involving both terpyridine fragment, which selectively binds the d-element cations, and benzo-15-crown-5 with unique ability for complexation of cations of alkaline, alkaline-earth metals as well as those of organic
Compounds of this class offer new opportunities for use of metal-ligand interactions for controllable assembly of the supramolecular complexes. We present here the structure of title compound, (I).In (I) (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles are comparable with those reported earlier for the related compounds (Dorokhov et al., 2007). The six-membered rings N2/C5—C9 (A), N3/C10—C14 (B), N4/C15—C19 (C) and C25—C30 (D) form the following dihedral angles - A/B 5.2 (5)°, A/C 10.1 (5)° and A/D 86.0 (6)°.

Ability of 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines to form complexes with transition metals, such as Zn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Ru(II) is widely used in supramolecular chemistry to control self organization processes. Introduction of additional fragments with various coordinating groups to a molecule of 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine opens broad prospects for purposeful design of supramolecular compounds (Andres et al., 2003). 4'-(Benzo-15-crown-5) substituted 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines represent a new interesting class of compounds involving both terpyridine fragment, which selectively binds the d-element cations, and benzo-15-crown-5 with unique ability for complexation of cations of alkaline, alkaline-earth metals as well as those of organic amines. Compounds of this class offer new opportunities for use of metal-ligand interactions for controllable assembly of the supramolecular complexes. We present here the structure of title compound, (I).
In (I) (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles are comparable with those reported earlier for the related compounds (Dorokhov et al., 2007). The six-membered rings N2/C5—C9 (A), N3/C10—C14 (B), N4/C15—C19 (C) and C25—C30 (D) form the following dihedral angles - A/B 5.2 (5)°, A/C 10.1 (5)° and A/D 86.0 (6)°.
