Abstract Lipophilic derivatives of benzo-12-crown-4 and naphtho-12-crown-4 have been synthesized. The behavior of the parent compounds and their derivatives in membrane ion-selective electrodes have been studied. Selectivity changes have been observed with the rise in lipophilicity. Crystal structures of the NaI and KI complexes of benzo-12-crown-4 (1 and2) have been determined by X-ray analysis. The alkali metal and iodide ions are in direct contact in2 but not in1. Compound1 [Na(benzo-12-crown-4)2]·I is triclinic, witha=13.368(8),b=10.727(7),c=10.325(4) Å; α=73.56(4),β=77.73(4), γ=108.70(5)°;Z=2, space group is $$P\bar 1$$ . Compound2 [K(benzo-12-crown-4)2·I] is monoclinic, witha=15.807(8),b=12.043(4),c=15.601(6) Å,β=117.74(3)°;Z=4, space groupC2/c. In both compounds the cations interact with all oxygen atoms of two crown ether molecules. Correlation of the crystal structures and behavior of the crown ethers in ion-selective membrane electrodes is discussed.
