Abstract
Triethylammonium 2,4,14,16-tetrachlorodibenzo[g,j][1,3,6,12]tetraoxacyclotetradecane-2-phosphorodithioate was synthesized from bis(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxyethoxyphenyl)methane by a two-step one-pot sequence. Its structure was confirmed by 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectra, and elemental analysis. The X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the molecules of the compound form an inclusion complex with chloroform molecules outside the phosphorus-containing macrocycle in the ratio of 1:2.
