Abstract Single crystal X-ray analysis of the 2:1 acetonitrile complex of 18-crown-6 is reported. Crystals of the complex are monoclinic,P21/n, witha=9.123(3),b=8.524(3),c=13.676(4) Å, β=104.68(3)°, andD c =1.118 g cm−3 forZ=2. The complex lies on a center of symmetry, with the crown in theD 3d conformation. Methyl groups of the acetonitrile molecules have weak interactions with the crown oxygen atoms, and are tilted 31.7° from the host's threefold axis. Methyl hydrogen atoms are rotationally disordered about the acetonitrile axis.
