Tetrapodal imidazolium ligands L(1)-L(3) as their PF6(-) salts are synthesized in good yields by reacting 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(bromomethyl)benzene with N-methylimidazole, N-benzylimidazole, and N-ethylimidazole, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of L(1)·4PF6, L(2)·4PF6, and L(3)·4PF6 show the chair conformation of the tetrapodal imidazoliums (L(1)-L(3))

The 17-crown-5 unit, C(26)H(26)Br(2)O(5), consisting of a 1,2-bis(bromomethyl) group, three benzo groups and diethylene glycol, was prepared from the reaction of 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(bromomethyl)benzene and bis-phenol in the presence of sodium hydride as a base. This molecule seems to offer an internal
