Abstract

The title compound, 1,4,13,22,27-pentaaza-6,9:17,20:29,32-tribenzo-10,16,33-trioxabicyclo [11,11,11] pentatriacontane (C33H45N5O3), is synthesized by [1+1] tripodal condensation of trialdehyde (4,4′,4″-triformyl-triphenoxytriethylamine) with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) in the presence of La(NO3)3·6H2O as a template, followed by reduction with KBH4. There are six unique molecules in the unit. The molecule has a threefold symmetry axis passing through the bridgehead nitrogen atoms in the structure. As a result, only one strand of the cryptand molecule is present in the asymmetric unit. The structure presents an endoendo conformation, with the distance between the two bridgehead nitrogen atoms of 10.030(8) Å.
