The synthesis of crown ethers has made a significant impact on the study of supramolecular chemistry since Charles Peterson first studied the cation-complexation properties of crown ethers in the mid-1960s. Incorporation of a crown ether into a variety of scaffolds can modify the shape of the crown ether. Thus, the cation-binding ability and selectivity of a given crown ether can be affected. We report here the synthesis of triquinoxaline cavitand incorporated crown ethers. The cavitand conformational studies and cation-complexation properties of these new crown ethers are described.
