Chemistry:Thia-crown ether
In organic chemistry, thia-crown ethers are organosulfur compounds which are the thia analogues of crown ethers (cyclic polyethers). That is, they have a sulfur atom (sulfide linkage, –S–) in place of each oxygen atom (ether linkage, –O–) around the ring. While the parent crown ethers have the formulae (CH
2CH
2O)
n, the parent thia-crown ethers have the formulae (CH
2CH
2S)
n, where n = 3, 4, 5, 6. They have trivial names "x-ane-Sy",[citation needed] where x and y are the number of atoms in the ring and the number of those atoms that are sulfur, respectively. Thia-crown ethers exhibit affinities for transition metals.
1,4,7-Trithiacyclononane (9-ane-S3) is a tridentate ligand and forms complexes with many metal ions, including those considered hard, such as copper(II) and iron(II).[1]
Tetradentate 14-ane-S4[2] and the hexadentate 18-ane-S6[3] are also known.
